Yes, it certainly can. There are many simple arrangements to do so. The classic example is the diffused light that passed through a prism, when passed through another prism it is restored to its original characteristics.
IMPROVEMENT:
The aforesaid classic method works only if the second prism is placed in a reverse way (upside-down as compared to the first). What happens is that the white light that gets split in the first prism, de-splits when it passes through the second prism resulting in getting back the original white light.
When the refracted light is bent back into the incident material, it is called total internal reflection. This occurs when the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle, causing all the light to be reflected back into the original medium rather than refracted. Total internal reflection is the principle behind optical fibers and mirages.
Light is refracted in the normal eye as it passes through the cornea and lens, which bend the light to focus it onto the retina at the back of the eye. This process allows the eye to create a clear and sharp image of the object being viewed.
When light enters a water droplet, it is refracted and dispersed into its component colors due to differences in the speed of each color in the medium. Each color is refracted at a slightly different angle, creating a spectrum of colors. The light reflects off the back of the droplet and exits, forming a circular arc of colors that we see as a rainbow.
refracted. Refraction occurs when light waves pass from one medium to another, causing a change in speed and direction. This bending of light is a result of the change in its speed as it moves through different mediums.
When light travels through a pair of eyeglasses, they are refracted (bent) by the lenses to correct vision problems such as nearsightedness or farsightedness. The lenses in the eyeglasses help to focus light properly onto the retina at the back of the eye, allowing for clearer vision.
Any light that is refracted forms a rainbow. Based on how the watch is shaped, light may be refracted when transmitted through the display glass of the wristwatch, reflect off of something underneath the screen, and then be refracted as it is transmitted back out of the watch.
Using a hollow prism would result in light passing through it without being refracted or dispersed, as there is no medium inside to cause the bending of light. This would make the prism essentially transparent and not useful for deflecting or separating light.

The speed of light in the fibre is greater. As a result, light moving toward the outer covering is refracted back towards the core.

Incident light hits a prism, refracted or reflected light emerges from it. In what manner it is different from the incident light depends on the angle of incidence and the angles of the prism. Commonly it may be refracted, dispersed or reflected back.
This website is awesome at explaining what is a rainbow and how it forms etc... http://www.myuniversalfacts.com/2006/04/how-rainbows-are-formed-what-causes.html The sun's light has wavelengths of many different colors, and when it rains there are many raindrops on the ground and the light refracts the light into a continuous band of colors. Check out that website for more detailed information about "white light" such as the sun's light and how it has wave lengths of colors...
When light enters water, it can be absorbed, reflected, or refracted. Some light is absorbed by the water molecules, causing it to heat up. Other light can be reflected back at the surface if the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle. Finally, light can be refracted as it changes speed while passing from air to water, causing it to change direction.
