C. (iii)
D. (iv)
Answer -
- When white light passes from prism, it is dispersed as VIBGYOR
- And, color of the sky is blue
In this question , we want the case where Blue is the 3rd color from top.
- In a normal prism, 3rd color from top is Yellow
- But, in an i nverted prism , 3rd color from top is Blue. Thus, image (ii) is correct
So, the correct answer is (b)
