Question

Which of the following statements are true?

a.
Visible light is composed of different wavelengths.

b.
The shorter the wavelength, the more refraction occurs.

c.
Different wavelengths refract at different angles.

d.
All of the above.

Answer 1

D. All of the above

Visible light is a section of spectrum of different wavelengths. The shorter the wavelength, the higher energy, so the more refraction. Different wavelengths refract at different angles, causing the formation of rainbows.
