The colour least deviated when he light passes through the prism?

Out of the visible colors, red. The lower the wavelength the less it is dispersed.


Why is red colour deviated the least and violet the most?

in the spectrum each color has a wavelength in which red has the highest wavelength while violet has smallest wavelength, so particles are able to disperse violet more effectively than red, so violet is deviated the most & red is deeviated the least...can u figure out why traffic lights have stop sign as red??


When white light falls on a glass prism which color is deviated the most?

Violet light is deviated the most when white light falls on a glass prism due to its shorter wavelength compared to other colors in the visible spectrum. This causes it to refract more as it passes through the prism, resulting in a larger angle of deviation.


Which component colour of white light is deviated most from its original direction after passing through a prism?

Violet will get deviated the most.


Why light is not bends when it passes through center of lens?

When light passes through the center of a lens, it travels along the optical axis, where the lens is thinnest. Since this is the region with the least curvature, the light does not bend much as it passes through. The amount of bending depends on the angle at which the light enters the lens, with light entering perpendicularly experiencing minimal bending.


How can light passes through?

light passes in straight line


What is the cause of depression of light when it passes through a prism which deviates more and least?

Anti-depression medication


When sunlight passes through a prism what colour dispersed light bends the least?

Red light, which has the longest wavelength, bends the least when passing through a prism, while violet light, with the shortest wavelength, bends the most.


Light that passes through an object is called?

Light usually passes through a transparent object. Similarly, light passes through the translucent objects but people cannot see through it.


What is the term for an image through which light passes?

The term for an image through which light passes is a transparent image.


In which material would light bend the the least?

Light would bend the least in a material with a low refractive index, such as air or a vacuum. This is because the speed of light is fastest in these materials, causing minimal deviation as it passes through.


What happens when white light passes through a strong magnetic field?

I have the impression that light is not affected by magnetic fields - at least in a vacuum. If traveling through other substances, the magnetic field can change the light's polarization.
