Not much because the light has to travel a distance in the medium with a different refractive index in order for the dispersion to become obvious. If you look very closely you will see some dispersion but it may be microscopic.

Why doesn't a hollow Prism disperse light?
Infinitely thin walls will not affect the beams of light, if the prism walls are not infinitely thin then there will be dispersion but not much.
What happens if a hollow prism is used?
Because there is a hollow space inside the prism, the light would be refracted twice, turning it back to white light.
What is a hollow prism?
A prism that is hollow.
Why does the violet light split into different colors when it passes through the prism?
Violet light does not split into different colors when it passes through a prism.If it goes in violet, it comes out violet.White light is a combination of light of many colors. If you pass white light througha prism, a spread of different colors will come out of the prism, because each colorbends through a slightly different angle on its way through the prism.
Which type of spectrum is produced when light from the sun passes through a prism?
It is the spectrum of visible light, which has the colors of the rainbow.

Does dispersion occur through a hollow prism?
No, dispersion doesn't occur through a hollow prism.

If a laser beam consists of light of only a single color will it produce a spectrum of colors when it passes through a glass prism?
No. Monochromatic light (light of a single color) will pass through the prism without dispersing. White light disperses into its constituent colors as it passes through a prism, and we therefore observe the different colors emerging in a dispersal pattern as the light emerges from the opposite side of the prism. Since monochromatic light is made up of only one color, there are no colors to disperse, and so the beam of light passes through the prism coherently.
What can b used to disperse white light into the 7 colours of the rainbow?
A prism.
What is a hollow prism?
A prism that is hollow.
Why light beam passes through hollow prism gives no spectrum?
spectrum is produced by the deviation of different colour by the means of refraction. When white light trevels from air into hollow prism (contains air) so there is no change of medium ,therefore no referaction and spectrum takes place.......
What is a hollow?
A prism that is hollow.
What is a prism and what does it do to a white light?
They separate light into the light spectrum. If a beam of light shines through a prism, a rainbow of color will show out through the opposite side.
When light passes through a prism why does the light ray bend towards the base of the prism?
reflection
Is light bending going through a prism an example of a reflection?
Light bending as it passes through a prism is an example of refraction, not reflection.
Light is scattered as it passes through a?
Light is scattered as it passes through a prism.
