If the light enters the prism at an angle the light will bend. The amount the light will bend depends on its wavelength. Each wavelength is bent a different amount effectively splitting the light into its constituent wavelengths. Visible light (390 - 750 nm) will split into a rainbow.

If you put a piece of white paper to collect the image, you can see a beautiful rainbow. The material in the prism has altered the speed of light somewhat, but different lights have slightly different effects, hence different speeds. Also, the interface between air and the prism has altered the path of light. The result is a beautiful rainbow at a certain angle of incidence. Please see the related link. ====================================
When the light ray strikes the surface of the prism, both when it enters and when it leaves, it bends owing to the different in the speeds of light in air and the material of which the prism is made. The amount of bending depends in part on the frequency of the light which is related to the colour of the light, hence the appearance of a colour spectrum which can be seen from a triangular prism.
When light energy strikes a leaf, some of it is absorbed by pigments in the leaf for photosynthesis, some is reflected, and some is transmitted through the leaf. The absorbed light energy is converted into chemical energy by the leaf for use in metabolic processes.
When a light ray is directed at a prism, it bends due to refraction at the first surface of the prism. Inside the prism, the light ray may undergo further refraction as it travels through the prism material. Finally, when the light ray exits the prism, it bends again due to refraction at the second surface.
If light strikes cardboard, the cardboard will absorb some of the light and reflect the rest. The color and thickness of the cardboard will affect how much light is absorbed or reflected.
What happens when light enters a prism is the light is broken up into all its natural colors. Hence what happens when you see a rainbow, all the little rain drops act as a prism.

The light sctters into a spectrum.
I don't know
When light strikes a chlorophyll molecule, electrons in the chloroplast get excited.
when normal white light is passed through a prism, it is split up into all the rainbow colors.
light bends when it hits the lens....this is called refraction
It shows color.
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.
