Paddy how does a prism untangle the entangled mixture of frequencies of white light?

White light, um... ah, I know:

WHITE LIGHT IS A COMBINATION OF ALL OF THE VISIBLE WAVELENGTHS OF THE ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM, WHEN SEEN AT THE SAME TIME.

Does bold caps help you understand this very simple thing that's been explained to you more than once?
Visible really, how can observe this white light?
 
White light is every colour of light entangled into a single beam of light, all the different wavelengths all at once all at the same time.

A prism untangles white light because different wavelengths of coloured light (that are all entangled in the white light) get bent away from the direction of the beam of white light at different angles, and so separate out in to their different colours.
 
Yes paddy you clearly showed us your countless knowledge , explain this white light you keep mentioning, what is it, how can I see it?
Look at your computer screen, see the areas that have white light? Your computer screen can only emit three colors red, green and blue; the white light comes from a mixture of those 3 colors

What beam of light , i have the light on, I see no beams or white light or a mixture

Well, some can emit yellow as well (Quattron being one of the brand names, used by Sharp)... but yeah, in general, it's Red Green Blue with a backlight (for LCD screens)

of course you don't see individual beams, nor a mixture - the human eye isn't capable of doing so.

The different wavelengths "bend" at a different amount, thus are displayed individually after passing through a prism or other refractive material.
 
I'm starting to doubt your inability to learn these things that are being explained to you over and over again.

I'm beginning to suspect you're just trolling, now.

Yes, clear light is white light because it has no obvious discernible colour.
