QuestionWhy does a clear prism make a rainbow when light is shined on it?GuestCommunity AnswerThis is caused by refraction of the different frequencies of light. A ray of white light is actually all the different colours mixed together, and each colour has a separate wavelength. Some wavelengths are refracted more than others by the same prism, so the previously merged colours branch off in different directions. This is called scattering light.
