The law of reflection
The angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection
The angle of frequency equals the angle of reflection
The angle of refraction equals the angle of reflection
There is no law to reflection

Transfer energy through mediums
why does a prism and other substances, including water, contribute to the refraction of light and formation of rainbows?
because of the angle and speed the light goes at. When the light wave hits a prism it slows down which causes it to refract at a different angle to create a rainbow once it passes through the glass.
Because the speed of a wave increases when it passes through a medium so it causes the glass to create a rainbow.
