What happens to light when it passes through intergalactic and interstellar hydrogen clouds and plasma?

Most of it...absolutely nothing. However the specific frequencies of light that Hydrogen interacts with will have chances of being absorbed and scattered, creating a gap in the light spectra.

What does it mean by the optical thickness in plasma?

In plasma, optical thickness refers to the measure of how effectively the plasma interacts with electromagnetic radiation, such as light. It accounts for the absorption and scattering of light as it passes through the plasma. A higher optical thickness indicates a greater interaction between the plasma and light.

What happens when light passes through a prism and is refracted?

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.
