What is the recombination of the spectrum of white light?

Solution
The spectrum of white light:
When white light is passed through a prism, it disperses, and when another prism is kept inverted, the dispersed light returns to white light. This is referred to as light spectrum recombination.
This is caused by the different velocities of different colors passing through the prism.
In other words, the refractive index of the glass varies depending on the wavelength or frequency.
When the dispersed light further passed through the inverted prism, the recombination of dispersed light takes place.
