Because white light is made up of ALL visible wavelengths, its colors canbe separated (dispersed) by this difference in behavior. When light passes throughglass, it encounters TWO interfaces--one entering andthe other leaving. ... The index of refraction for air is(almost) 1, while for glass itis about 1.5 (or so).

AnshumanNandan: Light also encounters two interfaces in case of prism
nsopagu: yes
nsopagu: but it only possible if there is two prism
AnshumanNandan: Light undergoes refraction twice in both cases
nsopagu: oo ya refraction undergoes but white light will be refracted only in the exp of newton
AnshumanNandan: That's what I'm asking
AnshumanNandan: Reason for it
xboyx: i m telling true come in any other answer of mine
