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 θ / sin 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).

The red light goes on the port side, the left. The green goes on the starboard side, the right. The white goes on the masthead.
