Purple.
In a prism, the higher energy light gets bent more. There is a disagrement about the name of the light -- it's either purple or violet. Physicists used to say violet. Psychologists used to say purple. It is the same light with different names, depending on the group.

What color travels the slowest?
The entire electromagnetic spectrum travels at the same speed. The speed of light.
Which material does light travels through the slowest?
Through water
What travels the slowest sound or Light?
Sound travels much more slowly than light. This is why we see the flash of lightning before we hear the thunder.
What is the most readily scattered color of light?
The most readiy scattered colour of light is violet as this colour has shortest wavelength.....
Does light travels slowest through space?
As the medium through which light propagates in space is closes to a vacuum, light propagates very well in space. However, it travels at the same speed as it would on earth, as light travels at 299,792,458m/s in a vacuum, regardless of where that vacuum is located. the light travels in same speed whether it travels in space or earth.
What color travels the slowest?

Which color of light travels fastest through a telescope lens?
Red travels fastest Violet slowest.
Which color of visible light travels the slowest through a glass prism?
The lowest frequency / longest wavelength of visible light are those of the last color you can see on the RED end of the rainbow.
Which material does light travels through the slowest?
Through water
When white light travels through a glass prism what colour is refracted through the smallest angle?
Red since red light travels the slowest
What travels the slowest sound or Light?
Sound travels much more slowly than light. This is why we see the flash of lightning before we hear the thunder.
Does Light travels more slowly through solid materials?
Yes. The more dense the material the slower light travels. Light travels the slowest in diamond at about a third of its normal speed of 300 000 km /s in a vacuum.
What is the most readily scattered color of light?
The most readiy scattered colour of light is violet as this colour has shortest wavelength.....

Why is the sky red when the moon is out?
If you are referring to what occurs at sunset, the light must travel through more of the atmosphere than at daytime. As it travels through more atmosphere, the light is subjected to more and more gas molecules in the air. The result is that more and more blue light is scattered out of the beam of light that eventually reaches your eyes. So Blue is "scattered out" and the part of light that is left over is red, orange and yellow. When the blue has been scattered out, even the clouds which scatter all colors, look reddish. The only color the clouds can reflect, is the color that shines on it. If blue is scattered out, only red will be reflected and scattered off of the clouds and in to your eyes.
Which color travels through glass faster red or blue light?
Red light.
Is red light slower than blue light?
No. Light travels at the same speed, regardless of color.
