The red light is refracted as it passes through a prism. The different colors of light are refracted at slightly different angles due to their differing wavelengths, causing them to separate and create a rainbow effect.
When light passes through a prism, the color that is reflected the most depends on the properties of the prism and the angle at which the light enters. Generally, all colors of light are refracted to different degrees by the prism, with each color having a different wavelength and therefore a different angle of refraction.
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.
Violet light is refracted the most by a prism, followed by blue, green, yellow, orange, and red. This dispersion of light creates a rainbow effect when white light passes through a prism.
Two times. One when the light beam crosses the air-prism interface and enters the prism and a second time when the beam crosses the prism-air interface on its way out of the prism.
Violet light is refracted through the largest angle when white light passes through a glass prism because it has the shortest wavelength of all the colors in the visible spectrum.

When a beam of light is shone into a triangular prism, the light is refracted (bent) as it enters the prism, then reflected internally off the prism's surfaces, and finally refracted again as it exits the prism. This interaction between the light and the prism causes the light to separate into its component colors, creating a rainbow spectrum.

When light passes through a prism, it is refracted, which means it is bent or separated into different colors. This happens because light waves travel at different speeds through different materials, causing them to change direction.
Red light is refracted the least by a prism as it has the longest wavelength.
Blue light is refracted the most when passing through a prism, followed by green, yellow, orange, and red light in that order. This is due to the different wavelengths of the colors, with blue light having the shortest wavelength and being bent the most as it passes through the prism.
When light passes through a prism, it is refracted slightly and separated into seven individual beams of coloured light - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.
The longer the wavelength the less the light will be 'bent' by a prism. Wavelengths get longer towards the red end of the spectrum.
