Answer 1

The answer is green light is bent the most.

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is Green light.

Step-by-step explanation:

A white light consists of 7 colors named as "VIBGYOR", in which 'V' stands for violet, 'I' stands for indigo, 'B' stands for Blue, 'G' stands for Green, 'Y' stands for yellow, 'O' stands for orange and 'R' stands for Red.

When white light is passed through a prism, it gets refracted and splits into 7 colors. This phenomena is termed as dispersion of light.

The bending of light is maximum for Violet light and it reduces till it reaches red.

Hence, from the given options, Green light will bend the most.
