When white light is passed through a prism, seven colors refract in the following order:
1. Violet
2. Indigo
3. Blue
4. Green
5. Yellow
6. Orange
7. Red

When a yellow light is passed through a green glass prism, the prism will refract the light, separating it into its component colors. In this case, the green glass will only allow green and yellow wavelengths to pass through, causing the yellow light to refract at a different angle than green light.
When white light passes through a triangular prism, it refracts, meaning, the light bends. When white light refracts, it disperses (separates) into the colours it is made up of - ie. the colours of the rainbow.
The light will continue to travel in a straight path without deviation if the second prism is not oriented at an angle to refract the light. If the second prism is oriented at an angle, the light will refract again and change direction accordingly.
Yes, windows can refract light. When light passes through a window, the change in speed and direction of the light can cause it to bend or refract. This is why you might see rainbows or colors appear when light passes through a window.
No, opaque substances do not refract light. Refraction occurs when light passes through a transparent medium and changes speed, causing the light to bend. Opaque substances do not allow light to pass through them, so there is no refraction.

Rain droplets can refract light. Different colours refract in different amounts so a spectrum is produced.
That is not true. If you are talking about all the colours of light in the spectrum coming from white light that is true. When white light passes through a glass prism, it causes the light to split into different colours because of the different angles at which they refract.

Colours which refract less.

A prism can be used to refract white light into its component colors through the process of dispersion. The different colors of light bend at different angles as they pass through the prism, causing them to separate and form a spectrum.
A prism will split white light into its constituent colours (the colours of the rainbow). "White light" is the light we see around us i.e. natural light from the sun. This light is made up of all the colours in the visible spectrum
Yes, lenses transmit light by allowing it to pass through, and they refract light by bending it as it travels through the lens. This bending of light is what allows lenses to focus and magnify images.
