Q. |
Which colour of light shows maximum deviation when passed through a prism? |
A. | White |
B. | Red |
C. | Violet |
D. | Green |
Answer» C. Violet | |
Explanation: The angle of deviation, by which the light of a particular wavelength gets deviated on passing through a medium, depends upon the refractive index of the medium, as encountered by that light wavelength. The smaller the wavelength of the passing light, the greater is the refractive index observed. |
