The component of white light that deviates the most on passing through a glass prism is?
Agreen
Bviolet
Cblue
Dred
Answer:
B. violet
Read Explanation:
Violet light deviates the most because it has the shortest wavelength and therefore experiences the greatest refraction.
Each beam of light, with its own particular wavelength (or colour), is delayed differently by the glass, As violet light has a shorter wavelength, it is delayed more than the longer wavelengths of red light.
Consequently, violet light is bent the most while the red light is bent the least.
