When white light passes through a prism which will be bent more the red or the green light and explain why


Answers:
In white light various colors of light are mixed together, primarily blue yellow and red. When white light in air passes through a glass prism having a certain refractive index, all the differently colored lights have the same angle of incidence (θ) but each differently colored light has a different emergent angle of refraction, going from red light (at the minimum angle) to blue light (having the maximum angle).

More details
According to the refractive index formula n = sin θsin γ, where n is the refractive index of the prism, sin θ is the sine of the angle of incidence (θ) and sin γ is the sine of the angle of refraction (γ).
