When a ray of light is shown at a prism, the light ray is refracted (bent) as it enters the prism, and then it is dispersed into different colors due to the different wavelengths of light being bent at different angles. This phenomenon is known as dispersion, and it causes the formation of a spectrum of colors called a rainbow.
