When a beam of white light passes through a glass prism, the colour of light beam that deviates the least is

Assertion : A beam of white light when passed through a hollow prism cannot give spectrum. Reason : Because refractive index of air inside and outside the prism is same so no refraction and hence no deviation wll take place.

Statement-1 : When a white light passes through a prism it forms a spectrum of seven colours. Statement-2 : The refractive index for different colour of light is different for the material of prism.
