Refraction is when light bends through an object. White light is made up of all the colors of the spectrum. Different colors have different wavelengths, therefore they bend at different angles. So when white light passes through a prism the different colors bend at different angles, so they separate to produce the rainbow of light that we see.

What are triangler prisms and rectangler prisms?
Triangler Prisms are like chocolate bars
What are some prisms?
Prisms are objects that divide the colours of the rainbow. Some prisms are Triangular, Rectangular and etc.
Are polyhedra prisms?
NO, but prisms are polyhedra. Polyhedra include a lot more shapes than just prisms.
Are polyhedrons sometimes not prisms or pyramids?
they are not sometimes prisms
How are prisms named?
Prisms consist of two polygonal "bases" and rectangular faces joining them. Prisms are named after the polygonal bases.
How many types of prisms are there?
There are many types of prisms such as rectangular prisms,polyganic prisms crossed prisms and etc.
What are triangler prisms and rectangler prisms?
Triangler Prisms are like chocolate bars
Why Are so Many Products Packed In Rectangular Prisms?
This is because there is no limit on rectangualar prisms and most boxes can hold cube or rectangular prisms not triangular pyrimids or prisms or hexagonal prisms.

NO, but prisms are polyhedra. Polyhedra include a lot more shapes than just prisms.

How are rectangular prisms are alike?
They are all rectangular prisms!
What is faces in prisms?
They are the flat surfaces that form the boundaries of prisms.
How are prisms named?
Prisms consist of two polygonal "bases" and rectangular faces joining them. Prisms are named after the polygonal bases.
What objects have two parallelcongurent bases?
Prisms have two parallel and congruent bases. These bases are connected by rectangular or parallelogram-shaped sides, creating a three-dimensional shape. Examples of prisms include rectangular prisms, triangular prisms, and hexagonal prisms.
How do light refracting prisms work to separate white light into its component colors?
Light refracting prisms work by bending different colors of light at different angles as they pass through the prism. This causes the white light to separate into its component colors, creating a rainbow effect.
The difference between cylinders and prisms is that cylinders have 2 bases whereas the bases of prisms are?
... whereas one of the "bases" of prisms are vertices.
