Someone in a physics class here proposed, a white light beam going through a meter worth of glass and because different frequences refract at different angles, a 1 cm rainbow would come out the other end. The only way I see this to be possible is for the beam to be infinetely thin. I mean REALLY THIN.
(He even says a 1mm beam would be thin enough to product a rainbow affect)
I think, however, even a beam of one micrometer the light would overlay back into white light because the vast number of points where the light strikes the glass.
