Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
A transparent medium bends the light, but it can also disperse the light depending upon the size and shape of the transparent medium, like prisms dispersing the white light into different colour constituents. So a transparent medium bend light of different colour of different wavelength. For example, red light has a higher wavelength, so it bends the least, and violet has the least wavelength, so it bends the most.
The correct statement would be that a transparent medium does not bend the light by the same amount, irrespective of the colour of the light.
