Question

Why do the colors in the light spectrum bend at different angles when they pass through a prism?

The colors in the light spectrum have the same wavelength.
The colors in the light spectrum have different wavelengths.
The colors in the light spectrum have different refractive indices.
The colors in the light spectrum have the same refractive indices.

Answer 1

Since the differences in the refraction index between the air and the glass, light bends once it enters the prism. Since the sides are angled the light bends even more when it leaves the prism.
