Which light has the longer wavelength : red light or blue light ?

A telescope, whose objective lens has an apertune of 1 mm for the wavelength of light 500 A, then limiting resolving power of the telescope is

Assertion:- In glass, red light travels faster than blue light. Reason:- Red light has a wavelenght longer than blue.

Assertion : The blue colour of sky is on account of scattering of sun light. Reason : The intensity of scattered light varies inversely as the & fourth power of wavelength of the light.

Assertion : The resolving power of a telescope is more if the diameter of the objective lens is more. Reason : Objective lens of large diameter collects more light.

Assertion : Critical angle of light passing from glass to air is minimum for violet colour. Reason : The wavelength of blue light is greater than the light of other colour.

Assertion : The resolving power of a telescope is more if the diameter of the objective lens is more. Reason : Objective lens of large diameter collectd more light.
