A glass has a larger refractive index for which colour, violet of green?

Class 10th All In One Science 11. Human Eye and The Colourful World

Answer :

Violet has a larger refractive index than green since it has a lower wave length. On refraction, wavelength and velocity change, whereas frequency does not. The colour of light or the wave having a higher wavelength will get refracted less.
