Refraction is the change in direction of waves that occurs when waves travel from one medium to another. Refraction is always accompanied by a wavelength and speed change. Diffraction is the bending of waves around obstacles and openings. The amount of diffraction increases with increasing wavelength.
Different frequencies (color) of light are refracted at slightly different angles when they enter and exit the prism at an angle. Refraction is the change of direction that occurs when any type of wave goes into a different material at an angle.
