Question
The recombination of the spectrum's colours into white light using two prisms (as Newton did) primarily demonstrates that
colours are permanently lost after dispersion
dispersion is reversible, and separated colours can recombine into white light
a second prism always creates new colours
white light cannot actually be split at all
Answer
dispersion is reversible, and separated colours can recombine into white light
Detailed Explanation
This experiment demonstrates that the process of dispersion can be reversed: separated spectral colours can recombine into white light.
