(A) Violet light undergoes greater refraction than red light. This is because violet light has a shorter wavelength and higher frequency compared to red light.
Color Wavelength $(\lambda)$ Frequency $(v)$ Deviation
Violet $400 \, nm$ $7.50 \times 10^{14} \, Hz$ Greater
Red $750 \, nm$ $4.00 \times 10^{14} \, Hz$ Lesser
