When light passes through a prism, the angle of deviation of any light beam is inversely proportional to its wavelengh. Since, violet color has least wave length, it bends the most and the red bends the least.

What color of visible light has the longest wavelength?
Red is the longest wavelength of visible light
Which type of visible light has the longest wavelength?
The longest wavelength / lowest frequency visible light is the red end of the spectrum. The shortest wavelength / highest frequency visible light is the violet end of the spectrum.
The shorter the wavelength of visible light means what?
The shorter the wavelength of visible light, the higher the frequency and the greater the energy of the photons.
What is longer human skin cell or the wavelength of visible light?
Yes, the skin cell is much longer than the wavelength of visible light. The wavelength of visible light is in the range of hundreds of nanometers. Skin cells are much larger.
Is it true ultraviolet light had longer wavelength than visible light?
No, UV light has more energy than visible light and therefore has a shorter wavelength
Where does light go when it refracted?
It bends.
What happened to light when it is refracted?
When light is Refracted it bends when it travels from one medium to another
What is happens when light is refracted by matter?
the light bends.
What is it called when light bends as it passes through a material?
refracted light
How can light be refracted at plane surface?
when light passes throught a plane where its bends
Why cant you use visible light to see molecules?
because light used to see an object must have a wavelength
What color of visible light has longest wavelength?
Red is the longest wavelength of visible light
What color of visible light has the longest wavelength?
Red is the longest wavelength of visible light
What happens when you shine an ultraviolet light through a prism?
It's refracted, just as visible light is, *given* that the prism is transparent to UV. Since the angle of refraction increases with decreasing wavelength, expect UV to be refracted to a greater degree than visiblelight.
When light moves from glass into air at an angle is the light refracted toward or away from the normal?
it bends
In the different colors of light which is the bent most and the least?
Blue bends best. More precisely, the shorter the wavelength of the light, the more it is refracted. The blue/violet end of the spectrum is bent more than the red end.
Is a red light a visible light with the shortest wavelength?
No, red light has the longest wavelength within the visible light spectrum.
