उत्तर
The splitting of white light into its component colours on passing through a glass prism is shown in the following diagram.
(ii) The least deviated colour is red, which is marked in the diagram.
(iii) Different colours have different wavelengths; therefore, they deviate differently when passing through a glass prism. The amount of deviation depends on the wavelength of the coloured light.
