Why does a light turn when you place black to black and white to ground wire?

You don't say "turn off" or turn on". Light should be connected black to black and white to white and ground to ground. If you connect white to ground it will work, but you are then using the ground wire for an unintended purpose. Neutral is bonded to Ground at the panel. Current on ground wire could cause ground loops and may cause GFCI to trip if you have them in your house.

Turn on one of the switches and leave it on for a few minutes. Then turn it off and turn on another switch. Proceed upstairs and touch the light bulb. The bulb that is warm corresponds to the switch you turned on first, and the bulb that is off and not warm corresponds to the switch you turned on second.

Is a prism used to turn white light into black light?

No, a prism is not used to turn white light into black light. A prism disperses white light into its component colors through refraction, but it does not alter the light to turn it black. Black light is actually ultraviolet light that is not visible to the human eye without the help of special fluorescent materials.
