उत्तर
When a ray of white light is incident obliquely on the first surface of a prism, then violet colour is deviated most.
Explanation:
Shorter wave lengths (like violet) deviate more in a prism due to increased refraction, whereas longer wavelengths (like red) deviate least. The deviation of light in a prism is dependent on its wavelength.
