(a) The blusih colour predominates in clear sky . (b) Voilet colour is seen at the bottom of the spectrum when white light is dispersed by a prism. State resons to explain these observations.

The diagram shown below in Fig. 6.8 shows the path taken by a narrow beam of yellow monochromatic light passing through an equiangular glass prism. If the yellow light is replaced by a narrow beam of white light incident at the same angle, draw another diagram to show the passage of white light through the prism and label it to show the effect of the prism on the white light.

Name the colour of white light which is deviated (i) the most, and (ii) the least, on passing through a prism.
