For which colour of white light the refractive index of a transparent medium the most? Give the reason for your answer.
उत्तर
The refractive index of a transparent medium is most for violet light.
The reason is that the speed of violet light is least in a transparent medium while the speed of red light is most in a transparent medium.
Notes
Students should refer to the answer according to their questions.
