Three light rays red (R), green (G) and ...

Three light rays red (R), green (G) and blue (B) are incident on a right angled prism 'abc' at face 'ab'. The refractive indices of the material of the prism for red, green and blue wavelengths are 1.39 , 1.44 and 1.47 respectively. Out of the time three which colour ray will emerge out of face 'ac' ? Justify your answer. Trace the path of these rays after passing through face 'ab'
