उत्तर
Spectrum is the band of colours obtained on a screen when white light passes through a prism and splits into its constituent colours. The colours of the spectrum are violet (V), indigo (1), blue (B), green (G), yellow (Y), orange (O), and red (R).
The order of the spectrum is VIBGYOR.

Critical angle
During dispersion of white light by prism placed in air, for a particular value of angle of prism,
The angle of deviation through a prism is minimum when
- Incident rays and emergent rays are symmetric to the prism.
- The refracted ray inside the prism becomes parallel to its base.
- The angle of incidence is equal to that of the angle of emergence.
- When the angle of emergence has doubled the angle of incidence.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
