Which colour of light shows maximum deviation when passed through a prism ?
-
- Red
- Green
- Violet
- Yellow
- Red
Correct Option: C
When passed through a prism violet colour of light shows maximum deviation. As white light passes through a prism, the voilet component, having the minimum wave length observes the maximum refractive index for the prism and, thus, gets deviated to the maximum extent.
