In spectrum obtained with prism which color is deviated maximum?

1. Violet
2. Redd
3. Green
4. orange

Correct answer: Violet

Solution

Violet light has the shortest wavelength among the visible colors listed, so it experiences the greatest refraction in a prism. Greater refraction means greater deviation, so violet is deviated maximum.
