    Question

    When a light ray refracts through a triangular prism, it diverts its path through an angle of _____.

    1. Incidence
    2. Dispersion
    3. Deviation
    4. Propagation 

    Hint:

    The angle of dispersion is a measure of the angular separation of light rays of different wavelengths or colors traversing a prism.

    The correct answer is: Deviation

      The angle of dispersion is a measure of the angular separation of light rays of different wavelengths or colors traversing a prism.
