Red, green, and blue light rays each enter a drop of water from the same direction.Which light ray's path through the drop will bend the most, and which will bend the least?Why?



Answer :

Blue light will bend more than the others because it has a slightly greater refractive index. This is because blue light has a shorter wavelength and more energy, meaning it has to slow down more than the others when it hits the water.

The red will bend less cause it is less dense than all the other colors.
