Question
determining relative refraction of colors
based on the image, which color will refract the most when passing through a prism?
orange
yellow
green
Brief Explanations
The refractive index of a medium for light is higher for shorter - wavelength light. Among the given colors, green has the shortest wavelength compared to orange and yellow. Shorter - wavelength light bends more when passing through a prism due to the higher refractive index of the prism material for shorter wavelengths.
