These colors are often observed as light passes through a triangular prism. Upon passage through the prism, the white light is separated into its component colors - red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet. The separation of visible light into its different colors is known as dispersion.

A light ray is refracted (bent) when it passes from one medium to another at an angle and its speed changes. ... Because white light is made up of ALL visible wavelengths, its colors can be separated (dispersed) by this difference in behavior.
