Three rays of light, namely red , green and blue are incident on the face of a right angled prism as shown in figure.

The refractive indices of the material of the prism for red, green and blue wavelength are and respectively. The colour of the ray(s) emerging out of the face is :

Assuming that the right angled prism is an isoceles prism, so the other angles will be each.
Each incident ray will make an angle of with the normal at face .
The wavelength corresponding to which the incidence angle is less than the critical angle, will pass through .
critical angle
If
the light ray will pass
Red will pass.
Green will not pass
Blue will not pass
So only red will pass through .
