These images demonstrate visible light which split into the compound wavelengths by glass prism. This optical phenomenon is called "dispersion" and can only occur in the presence of polychromatic light. Thus, a laser beam cannot be divided into compound electromagnetic waves because laser light is monochromatic which is illustrated on the right image above.
