15. Tara is experimenting with a glass prism in her science lab. She shines a beam of light through the prism and observes the different colors that emerge. She notices that the angle of deviation for the colors varies. Which color does she find has the greatest angle of deviation?
16. What is the focal length of a plane mirror?
17. The direction of ray of light incident on a concave mirror is shown by PQ while directions in which the ray would travel after reflection is shown by four rays marked 1, 2, 3 and 4(Fig 9.1). Which of the four rays correctly shows the direction of reflected ray?
