What bends light rays?
A prism bends light rays. White light is made up of many different wave lengths of light. A prism bends each wave length a different amount, that is why different colors are produced from the output side of a prism.
When white light passes through a prism what color bends the most?
Violet
When white light is passed through prism why is it observed that violet light bends more than red light?
The speed of violet light is slower than the red light in the prism.
What does a lens do to light?
It bends light.
How are prism and refract related?
When white light passes through a triangular prism, it refracts, meaning, the light bends. When white light refracts, it disperses (separates) into the colours it is made up of - ie. the colours of the rainbow.

What property of light bends light rays?
Refraction
What is happens when light is refracted by matter?
the light bends.
What is refract the light?
If something refracts light it bends it.
Why light splits up into a rainbow?
What we think of as white light is in fact a mixture of many "colors", or frequencies of light. A prism or a water droplet merely separates them, or bends them so that we see them a split.
Where does light go when it refracted?
It bends.
What light bends the most?
violet
Why does a prism cause white light to seperate into the colors of the spectrum?
Light bends in glass dependent on its thickness. Blue comes from the thin part and red from the thick part of a prism.
