Question
In which of the following light wavelengths is the highest deviation observed when it gets refracted through a prism?
- 700 nm
- 245 nm
- 483 nm
- 567 nm
Hint:
angle of deviation decreases with increase in wavelength.
The correct answer is: 245 nm
- Shorter wavelengths travel more slowly through the prism and hence are further deviated as compared to longer wavelengths. Hence, angle of deviation decreases with increase in wavelength.
- So 245 is correct
