order of colour suffers maximum deviation in a prism
Answers
Hey MATE!
Wavelength is inversely proportional to the deviation in the path of the light. Red light suffers the least amount of deviation and violet the most. When a white light is made to pass through a prism, formation of a spectrum of seven colors occurs showing white light is a combination of seven separate colors.
Prism only acts as a medium for the dispersion of light made of the seven colors. Refraction occurs when the light falls on the prism. The wavelength and frequency of these deviated colors is different, they deviate differently at different angles due to the velocity difference of the prism. The color red therefore devaites the least since it has maximum wavelength and color violet deviates the most since it has the least wavelength.
Hope it helps
