The order of the colours of the visible spectrum, starting with the most refracted, is:
AViolet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, red
BRed, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet
CBlue, green, red, yellow, indigo, violet, orange
DYellow, blue, red, violet, green, orange, indigo
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, red
1. Shorter wavelengths bend more when passing through a prism.
2. Violet has the shortest wavelength in the visible range.
3. The order from most refracted to least refracted is VIBGYOR.
4. So the order is violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, red.
