which provided us colors of light. This
phenomenon is observed when white light passes
through a prism.
A prism is a transparent optical
element with flat and polished surfaces
that disperses light. Usually a prism has a
triangular base and rectangular sides.
Prisms can be made from any transparent
materials like glass, plastic or fluorite.
Water in a glass can also acts as prism. It
