The various frequencies are separated.
the light reflects back at you in the direction you shone the ray at
the ray of light will be reflected at an angle
the light ray turns into a rainbow like ray
All the colors of the visible light spectrum are made visible.
When the light ray strikes the surface of the prism, both when it enters and when it leaves, it bends owing to the different in the speeds of light in air and the material of which the prism is made. The amount of bending depends in part on the frequency of the light which is related to the colour of the light, hence the appearance of a colour spectrum which can be seen from a triangular prism.
when the ray is shone at the prism, refraction occurs and the light will split into it's original colour.
the light reflects back at you in the direction you shone the ray at
It travels to the magical land of the fairies
When a ray of light is shone at a prism, the light ray enters the prism and undergoes refraction, bending towards the normal as it enters the denser medium of the prism. Inside the prism, the light ray can undergo multiple reflections and refractions before exiting the prism at a different angle due to refraction again. This dispersion of light causes the different colors of the spectrum to separate, creating a rainbow effect.

All the colors of the visible light spectrum are made visible.
The white light splits into a spectrum.the original colors will appear. This is referred as REFRACTION.
it will reflect off it
When the light ray strikes the surface of the prism, both when it enters and when it leaves, it bends owing to the different in the speeds of light in air and the material of which the prism is made. The amount of bending depends in part on the frequency of the light which is related to the colour of the light, hence the appearance of a colour spectrum which can be seen from a triangular prism.
Total internal refraction happens when a light ray travel from a lighter medium to a denser medium. Ex. A light ray passing through a Prism.
