Want this question answered?
why did you observe with indices of refraction of the colors of light in the acrylic prism
Different colors of light have different indices of refraction.Thats why different colors of light deviate through different angles and gets separated out which is called dispersion.
Refraction. White light is a mix of colors in the first place; these colors have different indices of refraction. That is, when moving from air to glass, as in a prism, they will bend at slightly different angles.
Critical angle of a medium depends on refractive index of the medium. Different colors of light have different wavelengths have different refractive indices.
Diffraction = The amount of light passing through a photographic lens being adjusted by a diaphragm. Dispersion = The splitting of light of different colors due to the different indices of refraction at different wavelengths when the light enters a lens or prism.

Look this article for IR colors... The color indices of the Sun in the infrared region
A concept chart
Anomalous interference colors are produced by dispersion of refractive indices from slow to fast light rays.

Make anew account
The reason white light is separated into colors is because light of different colors have slightly different indices of refraction. Thus, for example, red light might be bent a little bit more than blue light.
