because the 7 colors which form the white light is separated as their speed is not the same in the prism.
After a rain shower you can usually see a rainbow in the sky. If you shine light through a prism you see a rainbow or more correctly the colour spectrum
Shine a narrow light through a prism so that the light lands on a wall behind.
White light is light that has not been scattered. Shine a beam of white light through a prism, and the light is separated into 'rainbow' colours. Sunlight shining through raindrops is the cause of a rainbow appearing in the sky.
You could shine your flashlight through a prism- the prism will split the light into all the colors it was formed from. If your flashlight gives off standard white light, you don't have to use a prism because all white light is formed from all the colors of the rainbow.
Opaque means that light does not shine through something. And light does not shine through an apple.
Colours shine out!

You may use a glass prism and shine a white light through it. You will notice that there is rainbow of colours on the wall.
The red part of light can shine through a ruby.
the light will reflect and will split in 7 colors.

If you shine white light through a prism, you always get the same result - a spectrum. However, if the environment is brightly lit, you may not see the spectrum as it will be too faint compared to the brightly lit background.
Rainbows are sunlight that is shining through raindrops and the light is separated into the colours of the spectrum red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Just like if you shine light through a prism.
Opaque means that light does not shine through something. And light does not shine through an apple.
It's refracted, just as visible light is, *given* that the prism is transparent to UV. Since the angle of refraction increases with decreasing wavelength, expect UV to be refracted to a greater degree than visiblelight.
