pls explain
A glass prism is a transparent object having two triangular ends and three rectangular sides. The refraction of light in glass prism is different from a glass slab. This is because in glass prism, the incident ray of light is not parallel to emergent ray of light.
When a ray of light enters the glass prism it gets deviated two times. First when it enters the glass prism and second when it comes out of the prism. This is because the refracting surfaces of the prism are not parallel to each other. Also, when the ray of light passes through the prism it bends towards its base.
Hope it helps
thank u so much
No problem

The process of separation of light into its component colours is called as dispersion of light. This happens through a glass prism. Refractive index of a medium is different for different colours. When white light enters a single medium like glass, the angles of refraction are different for different colours. Similarly when light from the sun through air enters any refracting medium it emerges as a spectrum of seven colours.
