Purple.

In a prism, the higher energy light gets bent more. There is a disagrement about the name of the light -- it's either purple or violet. Physicists used to say violet. Psychologists used to say purple. It is the same light with different names, depending on the group.

Which color travels slowest in glass?

Violet travels 1% slower than red does in natural grass.


Light travels slowest in what?

Light travels slowest in a medium with a high refractive index, such as glass or water. This is because light is absorbed and re-emitted by atoms in the medium, causing it to slow down compared to its speed in a vacuum.


Which material does light travels through the slowest?

Light travels slowest through materials with a higher refractive index, such as glass or diamond. This is because the speed of light in a material is inversely proportional to its refractive index.


Which color of light travels fastest through a telescope lens?

All colors of light travel at the same speed in a vacuum, including through a telescope lens. The speed of light is determined by the medium it travels through; in air or a lens, all colors of light travel at the same speed.


When white light travels through a glass prism what colour is refracted through the smallest angle?

Red since red light travels the slowest


What color travels the slowest?

All colors of light travel at the same speed in a vacuum, which is the speed of light. However, in mediums like air or water, the speed of light differs for different colors due to their different wavelengths and refractive indexes. Blue light generally travels slower than red light in these mediums.


Does Light travels more slowly through solid materials?

Yes. The more dense the material the slower light travels. Light travels the slowest in diamond at about a third of its normal speed of 300 000 km /s in a vacuum.


Which color of visible light travels the slowest through a glass prism?

Violet light tends to travel the slowest through a glass prism due to its shorter wavelength compared to other colors of visible light. This causes violet light to refract more as it enters and exits the glass, resulting in a slower speed.


What color of light is scattered the most by the molecules in Earth's atmosphere?

Blue light is scattered the most by the molecules in Earth's atmosphere.


Why is the sky red when the moon is out?

If you are referring to what occurs at sunset, the light must travel through more of the atmosphere than at daytime. As it travels through more atmosphere, the light is subjected to more and more gas molecules in the air. The result is that more and more blue light is scattered out of the beam of light that eventually reaches your eyes. So Blue is "scattered out" and the part of light that is left over is red, orange and yellow. When the blue has been scattered out, even the clouds which scatter all colors, look reddish. The only color the clouds can reflect, is the color that shines on it. If blue is scattered out, only red will be reflected and scattered off of the clouds and in to your eyes.


Why does lightining change color?

Lightning changes color because of different gases and particles in the atmosphere that affect the way light is scattered. The color of lightning can be influenced by the distance it travels through the atmosphere, the composition of the gases in the atmosphere, and the temperature and density of the air.


Does light disappear as it travels through space?

No, light does not disappear as it travels through space. It may be absorbed or scattered by objects, but it continues to exist and travel in the form of electromagnetic waves.
