to observe what has happened to the light by the time it has entered the prism and
emerged from the other side, then you might also see effects of refraction.

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.
What is an example of Reflection of light?
Sun light hitting the atmosphere of the earth.
How does an ordinary rainbow occur from a light ray hitting a drop of water?
The molecules in the water refracts visible light like a prism and seperates light into the different wavelengths and thus colors creating the rainbow.
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
What is the instrument used to break white light into a rainbow?
I believe that you are talking about a prism, and the process where the light is broken up in to its constituent parts is called dispersion

What is a prism an example of?
A Triangular Prism A Rectangular Prism An Octogonal Prism (basically 3D Shapes)
What color is the rainbow blended?
White. For example: when white light is split in a prism, it becomes a rainbow.
How a prism can obtain a spectrum of colors?
the prism can obtained coloured of light in prism due to disperion of light
When light shines into a prism a rainbow of colors comes out of the prism.?
When ordinary visible light shines on a prism.
What a prism is used for?
To show that light is made up of colours through diffraction.A prism is a 3d shape that is the same 2d shape all the way along. Many things are shaped as prisms. for example a glass triangular prism can be used to reflect or defract light in telescopes or to produce coloured light.

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.
What a prism does to light?
As the light passes through the prism, the resulting effect is called a 'refraction'. In other words, the light enters from one side of the prism and is then 'redirected' at a right angle as it exits the prism.
