A student produces a water wave in a ripple tank. The wavelength of the water wave is 1.5 cm1.5\text{ cm}1.5 cm. The speed of the water wave is 24 cm/s24\text{ cm/s}24 cm/s.
Calculate the frequency of the water wave.
State the name of the physical process that occurs when light changes direction as it passes from air into a glass prism.
A ray of white light is directed at a glass prism and splits into a spectrum of different colours.
State the term used to describe this splitting of white light.
Identify which colour, red or violet, is deviated (bent) the most as it passes through the prism.
