Answer:
The bending of the colors when they pass through the prism depends on its wavelength. So violet color has a shortest wavelength as a result it bends the most and followed by indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red respectively.
The splitting of light into its component colors is called dispersion of light. Dispersion of white light can be done by a glass prism. The inclined refracting surface of a glass prism shows this phenomena.
When a prism is placed in a room and a beam of white light is allowed to fall on one of its refracting faces.It is found that light coming out from the other face of the prism is split into seven colors (violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, red).
