Yes, very easily.
A ray of white light can be split be shining it through a prism (triangular glass block) or a raindrop: both create a spectrum, or rainbow, of split up colours.
This works because white light is made up from different colours of light that are all waves with different wavelengths/frequencies. This means that the colours are all refracted (bent) by different amounts when they go through the prism/drop, causing the ray of white light to split up into its components.

All of the colors in white light are visable when white light is?
Yes, although the separate colors are perceived to your eye as white. If you have a prism you can separate white light into the continuous color spectrum. This effect is also achieved in rainbows.
Is a prism used to turn white light into black light?
No. It is used to split white light into its separate colors.
How can you see colors in white light?
Separate using a prism.
What causes a prism to show colored light when you look into white light?
This is because when the white light it's the prism, the colours separate and change speeds.
Why is a prism able to separate the colors of white light?
A clear glass prism (and rain drops in the sky on a sunny day) are able to separate white light into the colours of the rainbow. The basic reason is that white light is reflected at different angles because of the different wavelengths.
Refraction can separate white light into?
Refraction can separate white light into the spectrum of visible light from red to violet.
