Question
"The Dark Side of the Moon" (1973) by Pink Floyd cover is a pop culture icon. By making the appropriate measurements on the artwork you can determine the reflective index of the prism. Does the second refraction indicate the same refractive index? What is the phenomenon responsible for the rainbow effect? Make measurements on the picture to determine if the dispersion is exaggerated or depicted for a real material. Why or why not the red part of the rainbow should be on the top (as it is currently depicted) or if it makes more physical sense for it to be on the bottom. Assume the light begins and ends in vacuum.
Explanation / Answer
the effect is dispersion.
Dispersion depends on the angle of the prism, material(refractive index of material)and the wavelength of the incident light.
The deviation in the red light is minium become it has the longest wavelength.
