B. Motivation How are different colors of light produce Why do we see spectacular events
in the sky like rainbows, red sunset and blue sky.
The teacher shows pictures of the colors of the rainbow.
C. Activity Do Activity 1 The colors of the rainbow…The colors of light. Refer to the
learners Module pages 98-100,

D. Analysis What happens to white light when it passes through a triangular
prism? Ans. It produces different colors of light or a rainbow?
What do you call the process that produces a rainbow? Ans.
Dispersion
What is dispersion? Ans.The separation of white light into its
component colors
Guide question in activity 1
1. Describe the position of the different colors after passing through the prism.
Ans. The colors are arrange in sequence The ROYGBIV
2. Explain the dispersion of white light. Why is the prism or water able to
separate the colors of white light? Ans. It is transparent.
3. Compare your results in the first part with your result in the second part, Are
there any differences? Ans. Yes What might account to the differences? Ans.
Refractive index.
Do Activity 2
4. What did you observe with the indices of refraction of the colors of light in
the acrylic prism? Please see table on page 102. Ans. Different. The indices
of refraction increases from red to violet.
E. Abstraction 5. How would this indices of refraction account for the arrangement of colors
of light? Ans. The refractive indices indicate that light of the different colors
travels at different speeds in a prism which account for different degrees of
bending. The higher the refractive index the more it bends towards the
normal.
