    When white light passes through a prism, it disperses and separates into the visible color spectrum. The document reports experimental results measuring the wavelength, deviation angle, and calculated refractive index of each color for light passing through a prism. Colors at the violet end of the spectrum such as 404.7 nm violet had the highest refractive index of 1.688 and largest deviation of 55.1 degrees, while colors at the red end such as 690.7 nm red had a lower refractive index of 1.646 and smaller deviation of 50.8 degrees.
