A plane glass slab is kept over various colour letters, the letter which appears least raised is :

  • red

  • violet

  • green

  • blue

Solution

A.

red

Refractive index :- The extent of bending of light rays entering from one medium to another is known as  "Refractive index".

μ = real depthapparent depth

For red colour, the refractive index is minimum, i.e it will have maximum apparent depth and hence, appears least raised.
