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 colour of light is refracted most?

Violet light is refracted the most because it has the shortest wavelength among visible light, causing it to bend more when passing through a medium.


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 color of light bends or refracts the most?

Violet light tends to bend or refract the most when passing through a prism or another medium due to its shorter wavelength compared to other colors in the visible spectrum. This causes violet light to be more strongly refracted at the interface between different materials.


What is true about visible light and its properties?

Visible light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye. It has properties such as wavelength, frequency, and color. Visible light can be refracted, reflected, and absorbed by different materials, and it travels in straight lines at a constant speed in a vacuum.


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 light is refracted the least?

Red light is refracted the least due to its longer wavelength compared to other colors in the visible spectrum. This causes red light to bend the least when passing through a medium with a different optical density.


How can light be refracted at plane surface?

when light passes throught a plane where its bends


When white light passes through a prism what color bends the most?

Blue light bends the most when white light passes through a prism because it has a shorter wavelength compared to other colors in the visible spectrum.


Why cant you use visible light to see molecules?

because light used to see an object must have a wavelength


Which colour bends the most when white light is passed through a prism?

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.
