How do you make a rainbow from white light?

White light contains all wavelengths of colors. To make a rainbow, you need to separate those wavelengths (colors). This is accomplished by bending, or diffracting light. Different wavelengths of light are bent differently when they are passed through a transparent prism. When they are bent diffrently, they start to separate from one another and become visible to the eye as different colors.
