Light passing through a prism undergoes refraction and is split into different colours. This phenomenon is caused because light has different wavelengths and each colour has a different wavelength.
When light hits the prism, it is bent or deflected. This is because the speed of light changes when it passes from one medium to another, in this case from air to glass. The degree to which light is deflected depends on the index of refraction of the material it passes through and the angle at which the light hits the prism.
After refraction, the light splits into different colours because each colour has a different wavelength and therefore a different refractive index. As a result, the different colours of light are bent at different angles and projected onto a screen or surface. This creates a spectrum of colours, known as a rainbow.
The process by which light is split into different colours by a prism is called dispersion. This phenomenon is widely used in optical instruments and devices, such as spectrometers, telescopes and cameras's to analyse and measure colours.
