A beam of white light falls on a glass prism. The colour of light which undergoes the least bending on passing through the glass prism is:
(a) violet
(b) red
(c) green
(d) blue

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.
