Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the question, we need to identify the constituent color of white light that experiences the least deviation when passing through a glass prism. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding White Light**: White light is composed of several colors, which can be separated into a spectrum. The colors of the spectrum, in order of increasing wavelength, are violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red. 2. **Concept of Deviation in a Prism**: When white light passes through a prism, each color is refracted at a different angle due to their different wavelengths. The degree of deviation depends on the refractive index of the material for each color. ...
