Explain how a prism disperses white light into its constituent colors.

What will be an ideal response?


Because each color component of light has a slightly different frequency, each color passes through the prism at a slightly different speed. This causes each color component to refract at a different angle as it emerges from the prism, thus dispersing the light into its constituent colors.
