Question

In the spectrum of visible light which colour of light deviates the maximum.?

Answer 1

1. In the spectrum of visible light violet colour of light deviates from the maximum.
2. It is because the violet colour of light has the least wavelength among all colours.
3. The Refractive index is inversely proportional to the wavelength. This means the least wavelength and more refractive index.
4. Similarly, the refractive index is directly proportional to the deviation.
5. So, a more refractive index means more deviation. That's why the violet colour deviates from the maximum.
