The correct order of angle of deviation of indigo, green, yellow and red colours is :
- δI > δG > δY > δR
- δG > δI > δY > δR
- δR > δG > δY > δI
- δR > δY > δG > δI

Answer
δI > δG > δY > δR
Reason — The order of deviation is : δI > δG > δY > δR as red light deviates the least and indigo the most.
