To Rank: The given colors according to bending from the most to the least.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:Wavelength is one of the important characteristics of light or color. It is expressed in meter.
Longer wavelength shows more diffraction or shows more bending. The ranges of the wavelength for the given colors are as follow
Blue
Green
Red
Violet
Yellow
From the above ranges, the ranking of the wavelength from the most to least is
Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, Violet, and this will also be the rank of bending or diffraction from the most to the least.
Conclusion: Hence, the required ranking from the most to the least based on their bending or diffraction is Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Violet.
