When white light enters a prism, it gets split into its constituent colours. This is due to

different refractive index for different wavelength of each colour

each colours has same velocity in the prism.

prism material have high density.

Scattering of light

Explanation:

Dispersion takes place because refractive index of the material of prism is different for different wavelength.
