Incident light hits a prism, refracted or reflected light emerges from it. In what manner it is different from the incident light depends on the angle of incidence and the angles of the prism. Commonly it may be refracted, dispersed or reflected back.

If the laser that emits red light shines on a prism what will emerge?
Red light, going in a different direction.
What happens when white light is incident on an inverted prism?
It splits into its constituent colours according to wavelength as VIBGYOR
What is incident ray of light?
It is a ray of light which arrives at a point of reference. The latter may be a point on a mirror, a prism, lens, your eyeball or whatever.
What changes white light to colored light?
Pass the white light through a prism. Colored light will emerge from the other side. Nothing actually changes the white light to colored light, as white light already is a mixture of the different colors. Diffraction grating.
When light hits a prism why does it make a rainbow?
because when light hits the prism the prism scatters the light in all directions there for you can see the rainbow
Why is the constant deviation spectrometer named so?
It is named after the type of prism used in the instrument. A constant deviation prism has the property that the angle between light entering the prism (the incident light) and light exiting the prism (the emergent light) is always the same, no matter what the angle of the incident light to the prism.
If the laser that emits red light shines on a prism what will emerge?
Red light, going in a different direction.
When two prism in contact with each other one up and other down receives white light what color of light will emerge out?
white light

What happens when light travels into a prism?
As light incidents normally then nothing happens. But if light is incident at an acute angle with one refracting face then composite white light gets dispersed while coming out of the other refracting face. Usually as light is incident at an acute angle even in a glass slab then dispersion tales place as refractive index of the glass is different for different colours and so having different angle of refraction. But as it has to emerge out of the slab at the opposite face there once again all colours get mingled and only white light comes out. But in case of prism that chance is missing and so dispersion leads to have VIBGYOR
What is the function of prism?
It transforms incident rays (say, from the Sun) of white light [that contains almost every light frequency] into, by Refraction, a Rainbow. Please ask next - What are the main Astronomical uses of the Prism.
What is incident ray of light?
It is a ray of light which arrives at a point of reference. The latter may be a point on a mirror, a prism, lens, your eyeball or whatever.

How does the angle of minimum deviation of glass prism varyif the incident voilet light is replaced with red light?
fu** ur self..... what is the angle of min devi for a violet color
How many colors in a prism?
A prism is normally colourless. White light, incident upon the prism, is broken down into a continuum of wavelengths. Although there are thus an infinity of colours, customarily, they are classed into the following seven: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet.
Can a prism transmit rays at all angle of incident?
yes
How a prism can obtain a spectrum of colors?
the prism can obtained coloured of light in prism due to disperion of light
