B. The prism will refract the red light but it will still be the same color of red

    B. The prism will refract the red light but it will still be the same color of red

    Explanation:

    This is because the red light only contains light of one frequency and wavelength. Since this is the case, the red light only gets refracted through the second prism without dispersion into various shades of red.
