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.

What are the colors of white light and there degree of bend through prism?

White light is composed of all the colors of the rainbow, which are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. When white light passes through a prism, it is bent and separated into these component colors due to their different wavelengths, with red light being bent the least and violet light being bent the most.


What color of light is bent the most?

Blue light is bent the most when passing through a medium, such as a prism, due to its shorter wavelength compared to other colors of light. This phenomenon is known as dispersion, where different colors of light are refracted at slightly different angles.


What color is bent the most in prism?

When white light passes through a prism, blue light is bent the most followed by violet, while red light is bent the least. This separation of colors is known as dispersion.


How does refraction make color?

White light is made up of different colors. When white light enters water (like moisture in the air) it is bent (refracted). However the different colors are bent (refracted) by different amounts. So this different amount of bending has the effect of separating the white light into its colors and we see this as a rainbow.lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww


Do all colors get bent the same way?

No, different colors of light get bent by different amounts when passing through a prism or experiencing refraction due to their different wavelengths. This phenomenon is called chromatic dispersion.


How do you make a rainbow from white light?

White light contains all wavelengths of colors. To make a rainbow, you need to separate those wavelengths (colors). This is accomplished by bending, or diffracting light. Different wavelengths of light are bent differently when they are passed through a transparent prism. When they are bent diffrently, they start to separate from one another and become visible to the eye as different colors.


What happens to white light as it travels through a prism?

White light is separated into its component colors when it passes through a prism due to the phenomenon of refraction. Each color has a different wavelength and is bent by a different amount, resulting in a spectrum of colors ranging from red to violet. This separation of colors is known as dispersion.


What happens when a ray of light is shown at a prism?

When a ray of light is shown at a prism, the light ray is refracted (bent) as it enters the prism, and then it is dispersed into different colors due to the different wavelengths of light being bent at different angles. This phenomenon is known as dispersion, and it causes the formation of a spectrum of colors called a rainbow.


What color is least bent by a prism?

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


Red light is bent the least of all colors as it passes through a prism. What does this tell you about red light?

This tells us that red light has a longer wavelength compared to other colors in the visible spectrum. The longer the wavelength of light, the less it is bent when passing through a prism.


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.


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
