shine off the surface and reflect back
A laser is a light source that has only one wavelength of light and will not spread out when passed through a prism. The light produced by a laser is coherent, meaning all the photons are in phase with one another.
When white light passes through a prism, it is refracted and splits into its component colors, producing a rainbow of colors known as a spectrum. The colors that will be visible are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet, in that order.
It changes its direction, then comes out the other side of the prism, and makes a small spot on the first thing it runs into. A true laser beam consists of only one wavelength (frequency) of light. So there aren't different 'colors' to get split up in the prism. One beam goes in, and one beam comes out ... aimed in a slightly different direction.
If white light is shined through a prism, it will be dispersed into colors.
No, a prism won't split a laser beam into a visiblespectrum. Light from most lasers is almost monochromatic, so glass prisms bend the light without splitting it.However, lasers are not perfect, and their spectrum is not an infinitely narrow line. The "linewidth" for a diode laser is a few megahertz, or about a billionth of a percent of the laser wavelength. So, if you use a prism to bend a laser beam, the beam will become slightly spread out, but only by about a hundred-billionth of the deflection angle.On the other hand, certain lasers are designed to emit light of several different frequencies at the same time. The argon-ion lasers used for laser light shows are these types. If you use a prism to deflect the beam of this sort of laser, the beam will be split into two or more colors. But once split, each color behaves as an independent monochromatic laser beam.
it makes a rainbow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
Black light
The laser beam is a highly monochromatic source of light. It consists of only one wavelength and hence does not get dispersed by using a glass prism.

when normal white light is passed through a prism, it is split up into all the rainbow colors.
Because laser light consists of only one frequency (color), so there's nothing to spread out.

Colours shine out!
There is no 'wrong angle' - it either passes through the prism or it doesn't. The blue or violet waves will be the most diffracted.
