Solution

  1. Each beam of light has its own particular wavelength and is slowed differently by the glass.
  2. Violet light has a shorter wavelength, hence, it is slowed more than the longer wavelengths of red light.
  3. Consequently, violet light is bent the most while red light is bent the least.

Hence, In a spectrum, violet color bends the most, whereas red color bends the least.
