Three rays of light,namely red $(R)$,green $(G)$ and blue $(B)$ are incident on the face $PQ$ of a right-angled prism $PQR$ as shown in the figure. The refractive indices of the material of the prism for red,green and blue wavelengths are $1.27$,$1.42$ and $1.49$ respectively. The colour of the ray$(s)$ emerging out of the face $PR$ is:

$(a)$ Figure shows a cross-section of a 'light pipe' made of a glass fibre of refractive index $1.68$. The outer covering of the pipe is made of a material of refractive index $1.44$.
