Having reached r, the atoms of glass pass the luminousethers on into the less resisting medium of the air again, whoselines of atoms being more yielding than those of the glassare swung around a little at r, so that the pathway of the lightis afterward exactly parallel to the general direction which itpursued from s to i, in case the outlines of the refractingmedium are parallel. 3. But the refraction of the individual colors is seen in fig. 173,in which 1 is an aperture to let in a solar beam, 2 is the prismby which it is refracted, while the separated colors from thevisible solar spectrum from red to violet, above and below, which.

How is it that all the colors arethus shaken apart, the red being refracted the least, and the vio-let the most of the visible rays ? This is very easily understoodif we remember that the color spirals of the atmospheric atoms 396 CI-IROMO-PIIILOSOPIIY. through which the rays of light pass, become more and more fine
