Diffraction from white light and Colours in a prism

......
How is white light in diffraction different to white light shining into a prism to show colours?

-
White light shining into a prism shows colours because of dispersion or splitting of white light. In diffraction, light bends around the corners/edges of obstacles and the diffracted light interferes to form coloured bands.
