Prism Refraction Diagram - Light Dispersion Explained #305015 (License: Personal Use)

This hand-drawn diagram depicts a classic optics experiment where a beam of white light enters a transparent triangular prism and exits as a spread-out rainbow spectrum due to wavelength-dependent refraction. The illustration emphasizes the fundamental principle of dispersion, central to understanding visible light and spectroscopy. Subtle shading suggests transparency and internal reflection within the prism.
