atmosphere is comprised of oxygen and nitrogen molecules. So the wavelength of blue
& violet is comparable to these molecules. Therefore the molecules present in air scatter
the blue & violet light.

light. So, in the prism experiment it is deviated the most. As human eye is more sensitive
to blue light than violet, therefore the sky appears blue to us.
