Why does white light look like a rainbow when it exits a prism?
Each colour component of white light has a different wavelength. Therefore meaning that each component is refracted by a slightly different amount, separating the colours and making them visible by dispersion.

According to physics what is the construction of rainbow?

Why does white color reflects more light than a dark color?

Which colour bends the most when white light is passed through a prism?
The violet colour will be refracted the most, it has a shorter wave length and a higher frequency. The red light will be refracted the least, with its longer wave length and lower frequency.
What 2 colors make wite?
