Arther Wilcox when looking through the Bischtoph telescope at Mars discovered that the white light draining from the lens was in actual fact a mixture of all the suns light rays reflecting upon the lens. It's basic fisics.

Answer in known language:The simplest method is to disperse the light by means of prismWiki User
∙ 13y agoyes it is still composed of the same colors
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoShine a white light through the prism and it would revealed a composition of light from diffraction.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoWhen white light passes through a prism it is separated into its' contributive elements(R,O,Y,G,B,I,V),which,when combined are the composite white light.

Wiki User
∙ 12y agoThe central statement in this question is quite accurate, but a 'yes-no' question
can't ordinarily be answered with 'true' or 'false'.

Newton discovered that the colors formed by a prism can be recombined to create light?
He discovers what is known as the rainbow, by using a prism to show that light is made up of all of those colors.
What is the break up of sunlight into colors?
An optical prism can be used to disperse light from the sun's spectrum into all of its constituent colors. It is the same concept that gives rise to the phenomenon of rainbows.
What color light is made when all 7 colors of the are present?
White. It is also called the spectrum.
When light is refracted through a prism different colours emerge where do the different colours come from?
Type your answer here... OK. White light is made of the colours of the spectrum (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet - these are the same as the colours of the rainbow). The reason you see these colours instead of wwhite when you shine white light through a prism is that the prism "bends" the light - which splits it into the colours of the spectrum. Red light is the longest, so it is bent the least, and Violet is the shortest - so it is bent the most. This is also how rainbows are made - the rain droplets act as prisms to disperse (split) the light into the colours of the spectrum.
How does light affect color?
color affects light by the color for example if you see the rainbow how is it made with rain right and sun so wat the sun and the rain do is combine themselves and make colors
What colors is white light made from?
White light is a mixture of many colors - basically, the color of the rainbow.
What color photons is white light made from?
White light is a mixture of many colors - basically, the color of the rainbow.
What is a rainbow made out of?
Its made when the suns light reflects the particles in rain the light from the sun is white light. white light is made up of many colors. when the light hits a raindrop the colors refract and reflect and are shown as the colors of the specrum. - animalgirl11
What did isaac newtons glass prisms show?
white light is made of all colors of the rainbow.
What color is made when combining the colors of the rainbow?
If you mean light, you get white. If you mean pigment, you get black.
What are rainbow colors made up of?
Hithe answer is really easy, the answer is light waves, the rainbow colors are made up light waves.By: Ceeann Johnthank you.

If you mix all the colors of the rainbow what color of light would you get?
white, not black. it is not paint. since light is made up of red green and blue. in the rain the "white light" from the sun gets broken up (the little water droplets acting like a prism) into the colors of the rainbow.
What colors mixed together makes white?
In the concept of light, the presence of all rainbow colors produces white light. In additive mixing of colors, if the three primary colors, blue, red and yellow are showing, the result is white.
How rainbows are made?
Rainbows are made by the sun beams refracting onto rain particles which is made out of many colours which creates a rainbow.
Why does rainbows have many colors?
Rainbow is made from refraction & total internal reflection of light of the sun. The light of sun is white, which is combination of 7 colours. When rainbow occoures, white light is divide into all these colours. That's why rainbows have many colours.
What color is made when all the colors of the rainbow are mixed?
Mixing all of the colors together makes white light ( if you are talking about light). But if you mix all the opaque colours, i think you get black..
