The color light that bends most in a prism.
Answer to Problem 2RQ
The violet light bends most in a prism.
Explanation of Solution
The white light is composed of so many wavelengths that correspond to different colors. The phenomenon of differentiating these wavelengths separately into its component colors is called dispersion. The categorization is based on the frequency of the component colors. The dispersion of light can be carried out via a prism. The dispersion is the resultant of two refractions and a reflection in a prism.
As the violet
Conclusion:
Therefore, the violet light bends most in a prism.
