5054Dispersion of light

Light rays are deviated by a prism. The deviation angle d is measured for light rays of different frequency, including blue light and red light. Which graph of d against frequency is correct?

  1. Agraph of d against frequency: d decreasing as frequency increases from blue to red
  2. Bgraph of d against frequency: d increasing as frequency increases from blue to red
  3. Cgraph of d against frequency: d decreasing as frequency increases from red to blue
  4. Dgraph of d against frequency: d increasing as frequency increases from red to blue
