When white light passes through prism then constituent colours are obtained because

When a beam of white light is passed through a prism, it splits to form lights of seven colours. Is it possible to recombine the lights of seven colours to obtain the white light again ? Explain your answer.

Assertion (A): A white light on passing through prism splits into its component colours as such that the red light emerges nearest to the base of the prism. Reason (R): Wavelength of red light is more than other component colours and hence, red light deviates least.
