Question

Fill in the blanks: Prisms made of glass will ________ light and create colored rainbows on a wall, as is shown in the image above.

A) transmit
B) refract
C) transfer
D) absorb

Answer 1

Refract. I looked up the definition for each word and gave an educated guess that made the most sense.

Answer 2

Answer: option B) refract.

The pass of light from air through prism to air deviates the different colors of light in different angles, due to the different reraction indexes of each waelength. Then every color in a rainbow corresponds to different wavelengths.
