Yes, the refraction of light through a 60o prism will separate the light into a spectrum (a rainbow). Which then causes the light to refracted internally causing light to bend in different directions because of the speed of the light. Red light being the faster one and violet being the slowest one.
no
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! =)
Rainbows are formed by the reflection of sun onto water.
Rainbows are formed when sunlight is refracted, or bent, as it passes through raindrops in the air. This causes the white light to separate into its various colors, creating the arc of colors that we see in the sky. Rainbows are most commonly seen when there is a combination of sunlight and rain in the sky.
In the Bible, rainbows are seen as a sign of God's covenant with humanity. According to the Book of Genesis, after the Great Flood, God placed a rainbow in the sky as a symbol of his promise to never again destroy the earth with a flood. Scientifically, rainbows are formed when sunlight is refracted, reflected, and dispersed by water droplets in the atmosphere, creating the spectrum of colors we see.
no
Rainbows are created by water droplets in the air acting as prisms. If it's dry, there are no water droplets in the air, and no rainbows.
Prisms create rainbows when light passes through them because the light is refracted, or bent, as it enters and exits the prism. This bending of light causes the different colors in the light spectrum to separate and form a rainbow.
Prisms create rainbows by bending and separating white light into its different colors through a process called refraction. When light enters a prism, it is bent at different angles depending on its wavelength, causing the colors to spread out and form a rainbow.
Rainbows are formed by sunlight.

She hung prisms in the window, so that sunlight would make rainbows appear on her walls.

Common questions about rainbows include: How are rainbows formed? Why do rainbows have different colors? Can you touch a rainbow? Are double rainbows rare? What causes a rainbow to disappear?
Glass prisms create rainbows by refracting and dispersing white light into its constituent colors due to the different wavelengths of light bending at different angles as they pass through the prism. This separation of colors is known as dispersion, which then results in the formation of a rainbow when the dispersed light emerges from the prism.
No, they could form a very irregular pile of prisms.
