The index of refraction for a given medium will be greatest for which of the following colors? orange blue violet red

Respuesta :

Violet has the greatest index of refraction.

Explanation:

  • Index of refraction explains how quick light goes into the element.
  • It determines how much the path of light gets refracted.
  • For the refractive index, Snell's law is used.
  • In "VIBGYOR" red is at the head and violet is at the foot.
  • So red has a very less index of refraction with the colors.
  • violet has the highest refractive index.
  • Because violet gets refracted the most.
  • The violet color has the highest speed.
  • The refractive index also equals the velocity.
