Detailed Solution

Concept- By letting white light flow through a glass prism, the spectrum of white is created. Dispersion of white light is the name given to this phenomena. White light is made up of several colors of light or light with various wavelengths, such as the VIBGYOR pattern. Light's deviation is inversely related to its wavelength.
White light is made up of several colors of light or light with various wavelengths, such as the VIBGYOR pattern. Red has the longest wavelength of these colors, and violet has the shortest.
We are aware that the relationship between light wavelength and light deviation is inverse. The result is that colors with greater wavelengths vary less, whereas colors with lesser wavelengths deviate more.
Alternatively, we may argue that violet color deviation is at its highest and red color deviation is at its lowest.
Hence, the correct option is 1.
