We use a flint glass prism to disperse polychromatic light because light of different colours:

  • A
    Travel with the same speed
  • B
    Travel with the same speed but deviate differently due to the shape of the prism
  • C
    Travel with different speeds in the glass medium
  • D
    Have different anisotropic properties while travelling through the prism
