Answer:

This is because white light consists of 7 colours with different angles o deviation or retraction.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a narrow beam of light is refracted by a prism the light spreads into a band of colours (called the spectrum of light )

But in this case if a blue colour is observed it is due to the angle of refraction ,for instance red is refracted the least and hence is seen

Answer:

When while light is diffracted and at a particular location blue color is seen, this means that blue color is reflected while all other colors will be absorbed. When the blue color is seen denotes the shortest wavelength being reflected and all other being absorbed at the specified location.
