The refractive index of a prism is measured using three lines of a mercury vapour lamp. If $\mu_1, \mu_2$ and $\mu_3$ are the measured refractive indices for these green,blue and yellow lines respectively,then

  • A
    $\mu_2 > \mu_3 > \mu_1$
  • B
    $\mu_2 > \mu_1 > \mu_3$
  • C
    $\mu_3 > \mu_2 > \mu_1$
  • D
    $\mu_1 > \mu_2 > \mu_3$
