Hi buddy.
First of all u must know that speed of light and wavelenght of light are directly proportional i.e., if speed increases wavelenght also increases.
Secondly u must know that speed of light and refractive are inversely prportional to each other i.e., if speed of light increases, the refractive index decreases, which means less refraction will occur.
Thus, now u can be sure that wavelenght of light is inversely proportional to refractive index of light, which means that if wavelenght of light increases, speed increases and thus refraction decreases i.e., refractive index decreases......
