n=c/v=λ0/λ (T doesn't change) and v of light is constant in a specific medium(i.e. the ratio is constant in given mediums), so the index of refraction is constant for all light when changing mediums.
If we say that index of refraction differs according to the wavelength, then there is contradiction with the above formula n=c/v that says n is constant in specific medium
