Prisms refract light.

Light hitting a prism is an example of illumination. If you stick around long enoughto observe what has happened to the light by the time it has entered the prism andemerged from the other side, then you might also see effects of refraction.

It splits it into 8 different colors that makes up the rainbow
the prism can obtained coloured of light in prism due to disperion of light
When ordinary visible light shines on a prism.
because when light hits the prism the prism scatters the light in all directions there for you can see the 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
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.
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.
red light is monochromatic light and if it shines on a prism its still red light pass through the prism, not 'rainbow' color.
A device for separating light into different colors is know as a ?
