How do you split light?
Yes. (White) light can be split into the 7 colour spectrum; red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. White light can be split into the colour spectrum by passing it through a triangular prism, as Sir Isaac Newton did sometime between 1670 and 1672. This is a process known as dispersion.http://www.school-for-champions.com/science/images/light_dispersion1.gifIn the above picture, you can see the white light entering the prism from the left and dispersing into the 7 colour spectrum on the right. The colours at the top of the rainbow bend less than the ones at the bottom. A second prism the same way up placed next to the first prism, will give a greater dispersion of the spectrum. A second prism the other way up placed next to the first prism, will recombine the spectrum to form white light, thus reversing the process.This same process occurs in raindrops and this is why you see a rainbow in the sky when it rains.Read more: Can_you_split_white_light_into_the_color_spectrum
How can be nicol prism use as a analyser?
ANALYSER can rotate
Would black light break up if it is shined through a prism?
Black light
What happens to the beam of a laser if you shined it through a prism?
shine off the surface and reflect back
What would you use to split white light into colors?
If white light is shined through a prism, it will be dispersed into colors.
What light shines out of a prism if white light is shined into it?
White light contains all colors of the spectrum. If white light is shined on a prism, we'd expect to see a "rainbow" emerging, and that means red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet.
What happens when a light goes through a prism?
when normal white light is passed through a prism, it is split up into all the rainbow colors.
What happens when a bright light passes through a prism?
A rainbow
What happens to the spectrum if a red light shines on a prism?
red light is monochromatic light and if it shines on a prism its still red light pass through the prism, not 'rainbow' color.
What happens to the light if the light shines through a prism?
White light separates into seven colours
What happens during refraction of light as light passes through a prism?
It shows color.
What happens to light that passes through a prism?
the colors of light seperates to show all the colors of light.
What happens when white light passes through an inverted prism?
Colours shine out!
What happens to light when it travels through a prism?
the light travels though the prism and is reflected on an object and the light is to go though all side/faces of the prism and the light is to change colorTo make this more clear: The light goes through and separates into different colors of the rainbow.
