When a single beam of white light enters a glass prism, it slows down and bends, a process called refraction. Because each color in white light has a different wavelength, each one bends by a different amount as it passes through the glass. Red light bends the least, while violet bends the most. As the light exits the prism and bends again, these small differences spread the co
