Sania and Shreya are best friends and study in grade 4, recently, Sania has been facing difficulty in reading the black-board text from the last desk. Shreya is a little uncomfortable and wonders why Sania avoids sitting on the last desk. On observation, she found that Sania often carries junk food in her lunch. Shreya has started sharing her lunch full of green vegetables and fruits with her. Sania is now better and has also started taking a 'balanced diet'.
Name the eye defect Sania is suffering from.

Anil passed a narrow beam of white light through a glass prism. He observed that the emergent light is comprising several colours. The phenomenon of splitting of light into its component colours on passing through a glass prism is known as dispersion. The phenomenon of dispersion shows that the white light is a mixture of seven colours which are: violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red. Each colour has its own characteristics wavelength. It is observed that the refractive index of glass for violet colour is greater than the refractive index of glass for red colour. Angle of deviation is directly proportional to the refractive index of medium. Thus, the dispersion takes place because the refractive index of medium for different wavelengths (colours) is different.
Which colour has the maximum angle of deviation?
