The violet colour will be refracted the most, it has a shorter wave length and a higher frequency. The red light will be refracted the least, with its longer wave length and lower frequency.

When sunlight passes through a prism what colour dispersed light bends the least?
Red.
Which colour of a light shows maximum deviation when passed through a prism?
Violet
When white light passed through prism the colour which has least deviation?
red
When white light is passed through prism why is it observed that violet light bends more than red light?
The speed of violet light is slower than the red light in the prism.
What will light do when passing through a single medium?
Light will propage in "a straight line" when passing through a single medium. The "straight line" however bends depending on the gravitation curvature of the volume being passed through.
What affects the color of light?
if the light passes through something that is coloured the light changes colour to the colour that it passed through

What is it called when light bends as it passes through a material?
refracted light
What is reffraction?
it is when the light bends eg through a prism.
What does a lens do?
It bends the rays light which pass through it.
Newton found that reflected light was responsible for objects of different colorshow does this work?
Actually it wasn't reflected light. It was light that had passed through a glass prism with a triangular cross-section. He was seeing the effects of refraction. When light meets the surface of a transparent substance that has a different density it bends. Not only that, the amount that it bends depends on the colour of the light. So when Newton sent a white light source toward his prism he was able to split it into its constituent colours because the various colours all bent by different amounts.
What happens when light passes through one medium to another?
the light bends
Is light bends when it passes through a convex lens?
No it do not bend.
