as per my experience, i know that, which,who,where,why,whom,there,that are the relative pronouns but i doubt on the words 'By which', 'to which', 'at which', 'to whomm. are these Relative pronouns in Adjective cluase?
example: this is the lab to which i go everyday.
here i believe 'which' is the only relative pronoun not the combined word of 'to which' , 'to' just a preposition modifies the relative pronoun meaning, that's what i believe.
Please let me know am i correct or wrong?

Since you can say "this is the lab which i go to every day" (and in fact, this is the normal way to say this), I wouldn't call to which a combined relative pronoun.

These pronouns relate as well as replace nouns. Being noun substitutes, they relate to the sentences in the like manner nouns become objects to prepositions in keeping with the demand of the sentences. Placing the prepositions before the relative pronouns or at the rear of the subirdinate clauses , is just matter of style. Peter Shor rightly mentions this is present day word- order. But since they are relative (anafore) to the antecedents (noun/ pronoun) they introduce relative clauses or phrases.

In the sentence of yours -- "This is the lab to which I go everyday." -- the clause: "to which" is a pronoun clause. However, "which" can be used as a relative adjective as well, for example;
To which lab do you go everyday?
Other similar phrase is "to whose", which can be used both as an adj. and pronoun.
