What happens to a white light when it passes through a prism?

Light bends when it travels through a prism. As a result, the many hues that make up white light are divided. This occurs as a result of the fact that every hue has a unique wavelength and that each wavelength bends at a distinct angle. White light is a combination of seven hues, as evidenced by the development of the seven-color spectrum (or seven colored light). Only the separation of the seven hues of white light is the effect of transparent media (like a glass prism). Seven different hues are mixed to create white light: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. When travelling through a transparent material, various colored lights have varying angles of refraction (or bending), which results in the dispersion of light (glass prism).
