Which statement best describes the relationship between an object's density and its index of refraction? As the tendency of the atoms to absorb energy before reemitting it increases, the refractive index increases.

As the mass per unit volume of the substance increases, the refractive index decreases.

As the physical density of the substance increases, the refractive index increases.

As the optical density increases, the refractive index decreases. The image shows an example of white light entering a prism and coming out as colors of the rainbow.

How does a prism produce the colors of the rainbow from white light?

by reflecting light with white wavelengths and transmitting light with colored wavelengths

by changing the wavelength of white light into other wavelengths

by absorbing colorless wavelengths from white light

by separating the light of different wavelengths
