Answer:

Shortest wavelength

Step-by-step explanation:

Refraction is the phenomenon of bending of light when it moves from one medium to another. It is caused due to change in speed. Each color have a particular wavelength.

The amount of refraction is inversely proportional to the wavelength of light.

So, the color which is refracted the most has the shortest wavelength.
