Prisms split white light into its component colors through a process called dispersion, where different colors of light travel at different speeds and refract at different angles as they pass through the prism. This causes the colors to spread out in a distinct pattern, resulting in the formation of a rainbow.

Why does rainbow has seven colors?

The rainbow has seven colors because it is the result of sunlight being refracted, or bent, by water droplets in the air. The water droplets act as prisms, separating the sunlight into its component colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Each color has a different wavelength and is visible at a different angle, creating the rainbow's distinct band of colors.
