How does the angle of minimum deviation of a glass prism vary, if the incident violet light is replaced with red light?

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

Wavelength of red light is more than violet light.

Refractive index of a medium is different for light rays of different wave lengths. Larger the wavelengths, the lesser is refractive index.

Now angle of minimum deviation increases with increment in  refractive index, δ = μ - 1 A
∴ Angle of minimum deviation for red light is less than the violet.
