- Q2White light is split into its separate colours by this triangular prism as some colours (frequencies) of light are refracted more than others. Which is refracted the most at each boundary, and why?red, because its speed changes the leastviolet, because its speed changes the mostviolet, because its speed changes the leastred, because its speed changes the most30s
- Q3A pupil makes waves on a rope. The speed of the waves is fixed by the properties of the rope, but the pupil can change the frequency. What happens to the wavelength if the frequency increases?the wavelength stays the samethe wavelength increasesthe wavelength decreases30s
