Which colour has the maximum wavelength and which has the minimum wavelength? Explain on the basis of wavelength which colour bends the most and which colour bends the least.
(N/A) Red colour has the maximum wavelength,while violet colour has the minimum wavelength. According to the relationship between wavelength and deviation,the amount of bending (deviation) is inversely proportional to the wavelength. Since red light has the longest wavelength,it bends the least. Conversely,violet light has the shortest wavelength,so it bends the most.
