red light is monochromatic light and if it shines on a prism its still red light pass through the prism, not 'rainbow' color.

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
They separate light into the light spectrum. If a beam of light shines through a prism, a rainbow of color will show out through the opposite side.
When sunlight shines through rain drops, the rain drops act like a prism, and the sunlight is split into the rainbow colours we see and know as a rainbow.
When ordinary visible light shines on a prism.

The water acts like a prism and white light shines through it, it makes a rainbow.

They both involve a spectrum. If you shine light through a prism, it splits it up into the 7 colours of the rainbow. Rainbow is created when light shines through water, so rainbow is just another word for a spectrum. See? GCSE Physics pays off! =)
because when light hits the prism the prism scatters the light in all directions there for you can see the rainbow
White light contains all colors of the spectrum. If white light is shined on a prism, we'd expect to see a "rainbow" emerging, and that means red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet.
Artificially, a rainbow can be produced by passing white light (sunlight) through a prism. The light passing through the prism constitutes the seven colors of the rainbow.
