Higher frequencies refract more than lower frequencies {dispersion, refraction}. Higher frequencies travel slower than lower frequencies, because dielectric-dipole capacitance is higher, photon energy is higher, and electric forces are higher. Because wavelength is lower, percentage change is higher. Dispersion causes prism rainbows.
