This is due to phenomenon known as dispersion of light. White light is made up of several colours overlapping each other. Every colour has different speed in gass and hence at the interface of the glass deviate from their original path.
The red light having the maximum speed or maximum wavelength experiences the least deviation whereas violet or blue have the keswe wavelength and least speed deviates the most

it is due to dispersion
different component of white light travel with differnt speed in the prism depending on their refractive index with respect to the type of glass of the prism
