Best Answer

Red light is refracted the least by a prism as it has the longest wavelength.

The color that is bent the least by a prism is?

The colour that is bent the least by the prism will be the red as red has greater speed compared to violet. Hence violet will be bent the maxiumum.

What color is bent the least in prism?

Actually its red.. because it has the longest wavelength... white is the band of colors (just in case) XD

red


What color in the visable spectrum is bent the most?

red is bent the most violet the least


Which colour bends the least when light passes through prism?

The longer the wavelength the less the light will be 'bent' by a prism. Wavelengths get longer towards the red end of the spectrum.


What colour is bent most by a prism?

The blue and purple are bended the most


What color in the visable spectrum is bent the least?

Red bends the least. If you look at a prism with a beam of light shining through it, you will see violet is bent the most. This due to the refractive index of the glass changing the wavelength. Velocity & frequency are components of wavelength. So the refractive index is a ratio by which the speed of light is changed. I am not sure if frequency is changed.


What is a sort of device is commonly used to separate the colors of light from white light?

One device that splits white light into the colors of the visible spectrum is called a prism. It is a triangular piece of glass through which a narrow band of white light can pass. The blue color light is bent most, and the red color light bent the least. So the colors in-between red and blue are seen on a screen as a spectrum. A rainbow is produced when drops of water in the sky have light passing into them, and the light is bent in a similar way, producing the spectrum. So there are many devices that can produce a spectrum of the colors.


Which color of light is dispersed most by a prism?

The refractive index of violet light is most in a glass prism and is the least for the red light. So violet light is most refracted in the glass prism.
