Yes, absolutely. If you start with white, which contains all the colors, then all the colors come out in a spectrum. But, if you shine pure red in, you only get pure red out. No other colors. Ditto all the other pure colors. If your colors are a little impure (like real colors, not "exactly" pure red) then there will be a small spread of the reds coming out of the prism, but no blue for sure. But the writer that said it would be a good science fair demo was right. I would like to see it.

depends on the light source, when the light of the sun is offered to the prism it is broken down into a spectrum which is the true
colors offered by the sun light, the same is true when artificial light is applied. in other words light is not just one color it is a combination all colors. so to answer the question the light introduced to the prism will effect the light coming out.

Make it a science fair project and try experiments to answer the question! It is a reasonable question, and one that you could almost certainly solve.

Yes to a certian degree dust particals moisture cloud cover chemicals like iron magneisum and a bunch of other variables hope that helped
