The longer the wavelength the less the light will be 'bent' by a prism. Wavelengths get longer towards the red end of the spectrum.

∙ 12y agoRefraction refers to the difference of the angle in which a wavelength of light travels when it hits a transition between two substances (e.i. air to water). It turns out that red light refracts the least with a refracted angle of 15 degrees. On the other side of the spectrum, violet light maintains a refracted angle of 15.32 degrees.
See related link to learn more about refraction and to test other color's refracted angles.

∙ 14y agoIf the light is reflected, then the colors are equally bent (reflected back). If you mean when light passes through a prism, then red will be bent the least.

When sunlight passes through a prism what colour dispersed light bends the least?
Red.
Which colour of the rainbow bends the least?
Red
Which color bends the least when light passes through a prism?
Violet bends the most The sequence of bending in increasing order is like violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange,red Idk abt least
Which colour has the least diffraction angle?
Are you referrring to "refraction?" There's an easy way to remember this.... Blue bends Best Red refracts Rotten so red bends least!!
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.

Which wavelength of visible light bends the most when refracted by a prism?
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.Dhirender Sharma

The colour least deviated when he light passes through the prism?
Out of the visible colors, red. The lower the wavelength the less it is dispersed.
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.
What happens to light rays when they pass through a prism?
White light is refracted off the edges of the prism. That is it is slightly deflected and because light is made up of different wavelengths which are bent by a different amount the result is a spectrum, also seen in a rainbow. and from another wiki answers entry: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.

Which light is deviated most and which light deviated least when a ray of white light passes through a prism?
Red is refracted most and violet is refracted the least when white light passes through a prism.
What color of the rainbow bends the most?
red. bending is a physical phenomenon called defraction , the less frequency ( or the longer the wave length) the more the defraction. since the red has the least frequency it bends more than any colour.
