Prism

Real World Example

Imagine trying to sort a big basket of laundry that contains clothes of all different colors. This task is similar to how a prism works because, just like you separate shirts, pants, and socks by their colors, a prism separates white light into its component colors. In this analogy, the basket of mixed laundry is like white light, the sorting process is akin to the prism's function, and the neatly categorized clothes represent the spectrum of colors the prism reveals.
