White light consists of all the colours of the rainbow.
When white light passes through a glass prism which is clear the light is broken down into the seven colours of the rainbow, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.
The splitting of white light into its component colors when passing through a glass prism is called dispersion.
The prism angle affects the amount of refraction of light passing through a prism. A larger prism angle results in greater refraction, causing the light to bend more as it passes through the prism. Conversely, a smaller prism angle leads to less refraction and a smaller bending of the light.
A ray of light bends twice when passing through a prism - once when entering the prism and again when exiting it. The amount of bending is determined by the prism's shape and material.
Red light shows minimum deviation when passing through a prism due to its longer wavelength.
Yes, light passing through a prism has a maximum deviation angle which occurs at a specific angle called the angle of minimum deviation. This angle depends on the material and shape of the prism.

This is normally done by passing the light through a prism.
White light cannot be split by passing it through a prism in a prison. A prism can split white light into its component colors due to refraction, which separates the light based on its wavelengths. However, a prison is a correctional facility for people, not a scientific instrument for light manipulation.

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.
Light enters a prism by passing through one of its flat, polished surfaces. This surface acts as the entry point for the light, causing it to refract or bend as it enters the prism.
When light passes through an inverted prism, the light rays are refracted in the opposite direction compared to when passing through a regular prism. This causes the light to diverge rather than converge, resulting in a wider dispersal of the light spectrum.
Color is a direct function of light by passing sunlight through a prism and observing the bands of spectrum of colors was discovered by Isaac Newton. It was discovered in the 1660's.
