Question

Which of these lights would deviate highest from its path?

  1. Red
  2. Yellow
  3. Green
  4. Violet 

hintHint:

least wavelength

The correct answer is: Violet


    Violet colour of light deviates the maximum during dispersion of white light by the prism as it has least wavelength among all the colours.
