In the formation of spectrum of white light by a prism:
which colour is deviated most?
In the figure given alongside, a narrow beam of white light is shown to pass through a triangular glass prism. After passing through the prism, it produces a spectrum YX on the screen.
Why do different colours of white light bend through different angles with respect to the incident beam of light?
The coloured light having the maximum speed in glass prism is:
(a) blue
(b) green
(c) violet
(d) yellow
The seven colours in the spectrum of sunlight in order, are represented as :

What is a rainbow?
When sunlight passes through water droplets in the atmosphere it gets dispersed into its constituent colours forming a rainbow. A similar phenomenon is observed when white light passes through a prism.
Instead of sunlight, a green-coloured ray is passed through a glass prism. What will be the colour of the emergent ray?
Make a rainbow
Try to make your own rainbow. You can try this project in the morning or in the evening. Stand with your back towards the Sun. Take a hosepipe or a water pipe used in the garden. Make a fine spray in front of you. You can see different colours of rainbow in the spray.
