what causes different colors of light to spread out when passing through a prism?

speed consistency
different bending degrees
frequency variation
wavelength refraction
Brief Explanations
When light passes through a prism, different colors (wavelengths) of light are refracted (bent) at different angles. This is because the refractive index of the prism material varies with the wavelength of light. The bending of light (refraction) causes the different colors to spread out.
