White light is incident from under water on the water-air interface. If the angle of incidence is slowly increased from zero, the emergent beam coming out into the air will turn from

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Violet has the smallest critical angle

As the angle increases violet undergoes total internal reflection first, then the other colours

Red is the last to go, so the beam turns from white to red
