$<body><th>(1.)White light will begin to disperse inside any medium, when the incident angle is not zero. (2.)A flat piece of window glass will do the same thing to light inside as a prism. (3.)The difference is that the dispersion is cancelled out normally in a glass with parallel faces, since light would disperse in the opposite way refracting at the same angle and look white again. (4.)On the other hand, a prism has sides that are at an angle to each other, and if the right position is chosen, white light can further disperse a second time making colors visible separately.$
