Question

What properties does prism have that it scatter the white light

Answer 1

Visible light, also known aswhite light, consists of a collection of component colors. These colors are often observed as light passes through a triangular prism. Upon passage through theprism, the white light is separated into its component colors - red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet.

Answer 2

Answer:

Since different colors of light travel at different speeds, the refractive index is different for each color. As a result, when white light passes through the refracting surface of the prism, its components bend into different angles, causing the single beam of light to separate.
