Rotating triangular prism refracting light.
Materials, such as glass, change the speed of a light beam passing through it (refraction). A beam of white light is consequently split into its constituent colours of varying wavelengths (a rainbow). This process is known as dispersion

Prisms and lenses refracting three rays of light.
From left to right, there is a diverging (biconcave) lens, a converging (biconvex) lens and two triangular prisms. The rays start parallel and diverge after passing through the first lens, then converge after passing through the second....
