prism
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.
A prism bends different colors of light at different angles due to their different wavelengths. When white light enters a prism, it is separated into its component colors because each color bends by a different amount, resulting in the formation of a rainbow.
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.
A prism bends light rays. White light is made up of many different wave lengths of light. A prism bends each wave length a different amount, that is why different colors are produced from the output side of a prism.
A concave lens bends light away from its center, diverging the light rays.

The medium. The denser the material the more light slows down as it enters. As it slows down the angle of refraction will be smaller than the angle of incidence and the ray will bend towards the normal. How much it bends will depend in the difference in speed which depends on the density of the material. The ratio between the 'speeds' is the refractive index. Look up refractive index and Snell's law.
What we think of as white light is in fact a mixture of many "colors", or frequencies of light. A prism or a water droplet merely separates them, or bends them so that we see them a split.
Refraction
the light bends.
Light bends in glass dependent on its thickness. Blue comes from the thin part and red from the thick part of a prism.

No, the amount by which light bends depends on its wavelength and the medium it is passing through. In general, red light bends less than blue light when passing through transparent materials, because red light has a longer wavelength.
