Why light rays does not bend towards thicker part while passing through prsm?

It is very difficult to answer this question since it is based on a total misunderstanding of what actually happens. Light rays, when passing through a triangular prism DO bend towards the thicker part of the prism!

What will light do if passing through a fog?
The light scatters on each water particle. This makes visibility difficult as the light can reflect back towards the observer.
Why are convex lens thicker in the middle than at the edge?
A lens works by delaying light. When light rays encounter a lens, they refract the rays in the direction of the slower area, so a lens that is convex - thinker in the middle and thin on the edges - will bend all the light passing through it to come together. We design the lenses as thicker or thinner to deflect the light in the direction we want it to go.
Do light passing through a prism have a maximum deviation?
no
What is transmission chemistry?
The passing of light through matter.
How can white light be split to form a rainbow?
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.

What effect has the condenser lens on light rays passing through it?
The condenser adjusts the amount of light passing through the specimen.
What is a piece of clear material that is thinner in the middle and thicker around the edges?
A convex lens typically fits this description. Convex lenses are thinner in the middle and thicker around the edges, causing light rays passing through them to converge.
Can you split white light by passing through it through a prison?
You can split white light into a spectrum of its component wavelengths by passing it through a prism, not a prison.

What is light refraction for kids?
the bending of light when passing through an object
Do lenses reflect or refract light?
Light refracts when it passes across the boundary of two media having different optical densities (refractive indexes). If the light stated in the question had done this, then it is refracted.

Explain why the sky is red when looking towards the rising or setting sun?
Remember the blue light we talked about? That blue light was scattered OUT of the light from the sun. So when we look towards the Sun when it is at a low angle so its light is passing through a lot of air (like around sunset or sunrise) we are seeing "blue depleted" light -- which leaves RED light.
