White Light

Because light reflects off the prism's surface

The incident white light refracts and separates into its constituent colors

The white light is absorbed by the prism, separating its colors

The light speeds up as it moves from air into the denser plastic material

Spinning a colour wheel

Viewing a penny in a glass of water

Passing light through a triangular prism

Shining different colours of light onto a white surface

sky looks bright orange in the evening

shadow

Pool seems shallower
