Question:
Two rays of light of yellow and blue colour strike an equilateral prism at the same angle. Which ray will have the greater deviation?
Answer:
Blue will have more deviation as it is of shorter wavelength than yellow. By the principle of deviation, the higher the wavelength of light, the more is the energy and less is the deviation. Colours of light in VIBGYOR are arranged in increasing order of wavelength.
