When white light is incident on a thin-walled hollow glass prism, the colour of the emergent light will be white.
When white light is incident on a thin-walled hollow glass prism, the colour of the emergent light will be white, but the bending of all colours is away from the base. As a result, the light emerging from the prism gives a spectrum. This happens because when the white light travels from air into the hollow prism, there is no medium change, as the prism has air inside.
