What is the complementary color of blue?

$(a)$ What is dispersion of white light? What is the cause of such dispersion? Draw a diagram to show the dispersion of white light by a glass prism.
$(b)$ $A$ glass prism is able to produce a spectrum when white light passes through it,but a glass slab does not produce any spectrum. Explain why this is so.

Define dispersion of white light and name the colours of white light in order.

$A$ beam of white light falling on a glass prism gets split up into seven colours marked $1$ to $7$ as shown in the diagram. $A$ student makes the following statements about the spectrum observed on the screen.
$(a)$ The colours at position marked $3$ and $5$ are similar to the colour of the core of a hard-boiled egg and the colour of the sky respectively. Is the statement made by the student correct or incorrect? Justify.
$(b)$ Which of the two positions correspond closely to the colour of $(i)$ a solution of potassium permanganate,$(ii)$ danger or stop signal lights?

Name the component of white light that deviates the least and the most while passing through a prism.

$A$ beam of white light falling on a glass prism gets split up into seven colours marked $1$ to $7$ as shown in the diagram.
$(a)$ The colours at positions marked $3$ and $5$ are similar to the colour of the sky and the colour of gold metal respectively. Is the above statement made by the student correct or incorrect? Justify.
$(b)$ Which of the above shown positions corresponds approximately to the colour of:
$(i)$ a brinjal
$(ii)$ danger signal
$(iii)$ neel (indigo) which is applied to clothes
$(iv)$ orange
