It transforms incident rays (say, from the Sun) of white light [that contains almost every light frequency] into, by Refraction, a Rainbow. Please ask next - What are the main Astronomical uses of the Prism.
Yes, no material allows 100% transmission of light. In fact, the resistance of the passage of light is what allows a prism to refract. A prism made of a theoretical 100% light trasmitter would not function as a prism regardless of its shape.
Color is a direct function of light by passing sunlight through a prism and observing the bands of spectrum of colors was discovered by Isaac Newton. It was discovered in the 1660's.

Yes, a hexagonal prism is a type of prism.
Prism - Prism album - was created in 1977.
a triangular prism is different from a rectangular prism because: their names are different a triangular prism has a triangle for its' base a rectangular prism has a rectangle base a triangular prism has less sides than a rectangular prism a rectangular prism has more sides than a triangular prism
There's the rectangular prism, the triangular prism, hexagonal prism, pentagonal prism, the cube, and the octagonal prism.
It depends on the prism. Is it a triangular prism, a rectangular prism, a pentagonal prism... etc..
A Triangular Prism A Rectangular Prism An Octogonal Prism (basically 3D Shapes)
A prism has the same cross section throughout its length no matter what form it may take i.e. a cubic prism, a cuboid prism, a triangular prism, a hexagonal prism, a cylindrical prism etc.
Triangular Prism Rectangular Prism Polygonal Prism Hexagonal Prism
A triangular prism has a triangle and a rectangular prism doesn't.
