The speed of the light is not reduced by the prism. The speed of light is constant except in some lab experiments. What happens the lightwaves are seperated according to their frequency. It is like a mirror the light is not slowed down it just changes directions. And that is what happens in the prism the light is relfected in different directions. And nothing in this universe can change its speed without have some outside force acting on it. Things don't magically jump from one speed to another. Have you ever driven a car at 35 mph and then suddenly for no reason you were going 65. It doesn't happen. I don't know what education level you are at but a college class in modern physics (general realtivity) would help you out. In response to the other answer: Asteroids in space don't just increase speed either. Newtons Law An object in motion will remain at constant motion until acted upon by another force. The most common way for an asteroid's speed to be altered is the gravity from a nearby object.

The candle, which you can then use to light the lamp and stove.

The gas lamp, as you may drop the candle & set fire to everything.
