Different colors of light have different indices of refraction.Thats why different colors of light deviate through different angles and gets separated out which is called dispersion.
No, devices that separate white light into its individual colors are called spectrometers or spectroscopes. They work by using prisms or diffraction gratings to disperse the light based on its wavelength, allowing for the analysis of the various colors present in the light.
Mirrors are generally more effective at transmitting light than prisms because they reflect light without dispersing it, maintaining the original direction and intensity. Prisms, on the other hand, refract light and can disperse it into its constituent colors, affecting the transmission of light.
Light refracting prisms work by bending different colors of light at different angles as they pass through the prism. This causes the white light to separate into its component colors, creating a rainbow effect.
Well, since the light passed through, I think we can assume that these prisms are transparent. You said white light passed through two prisms, so I guess it was incident at 90 degrees, and the sides of the prisms were parallel. You would not necessarily see anything, unless (1) you were looking and (2) you were looking at the correct place- i.e. the light was shining in your eye, or reflecting off something you can see. If I was blind, I would see nothing.
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.

Another name for a light bender is a prism. Prisms are optical devices that can refract and disperse light, causing it to bend as it passes through.

Passing through prisms can disperse the light beam, spreading it out over a larger area. This reduces the energy density of the light at any one point, making it less dangerous. Additionally, the beam may become less focused and intense after passing through multiple prisms, further decreasing the potential harm it can cause.
A prism.
white light is made of all colors of the rainbow.
your ugly mum
Newton did experiments using prisms to show that white light contained all colours of light.
It is spread out into a spectrum, then recombined into white light.
