We know that each colour in VIBGYOR has a different speed, and hence, they have a different refractive index. The refractive index for glass when white light passes through it is 1.5. This is actually the refractive index of yellow in the glass medium. But, why Yellow? Why not take the refractive index of Red, Green or Violet? Please don't answer anything irrelevant, like anything gibberish or that you don't know the answer or you will be reported. Best and most appropriate answers will be marked brainliest, will get their answer marked 5 - star and I will follow them. This is a Class 10 Science portion related to the dispersion of light in a glass prism (Chapter 11). Thank you :)

Answer:
Colors do not have refractive indices, mediums do.
The speed of light = c / n(medium)
where n is the refractive index.
n(vacuum) ≡ 1.00000000000
Don’t confuse the refractive index with the Huygen’s principle!
The way your question is worded, it looks as if you may be attempting to find the lowest frequency or wavelength.
i.e.; Red light has no effect on the speed of Blue light!

Answer:
Explanation:
Because wavelength of other colour is more which will give more refractive index
