Diffraction from white light

!Different wavelengths are diffracted by slightly different amounts hence white light can be split into its constituent colours.-Diffraction disperses the lightand interference (superposition of waves) produces the fringes.-somephenomenon related to prism is responsible for this.......
If white light passes through slits, colored fringes may be observed.
What phenomenon is responsible for this?

-
Well, your question contains the answer!! Diffraction!!
Different wavelengths are diffracted by slightly different amounts hence white light can be split into its constituent colours.

-
Diffraction disperses the light and interference (superposition of waves) produces the fringes.

-
some phenomenon related to prism is responsible for this.
