Question

In the following figure identify ‘A’ and ‘B’ which represents different colours of the spectrum. Why does this phenomenon occur?

Answer 1

A is red

B is violet

Step-by-step explanation:

A has a high penetration power hence greatest frequency and short wavelength in accordance to the diagram above.

The color with greatest frequency is red.

B has the least penetration power as it is greatly refracted in accordance to the diagram which shows that it has least frequency and high wavelength.

The color of least frequency is violet.
