What type of light is formed when all of the lights of the visible spectrum combine?

White light contains all the colors of the visible spectrum.


What does the spectrum consists of?

a band of colors formed when white light passes through a prism.


A range of colors formed when white light passes through a prism is called a?

spectrum :)


What colors do white paper reflect?

All of them. White light is formed by all the colours of the visible spectrum combined.


What is white light in a rainbow?

White light is formed by the joining of all the colours in the Rainbow i.e. it is a mix of all the 7 colours in the spectrum.


What is a rainbow and how are they formed?

the white light gets made into a spectrum when it goes through the raindrops, but you also need the sun to shine to produce te white light


What splits up white light to form a rainbow?

White light is split into the color spectrum of a rainbow by a process of refraction, reflection, and again refraction within a water droplet. Technically, the refractive index of whatever surface the white light hits determines how the light is split, and thus the size of the rainbow and the number of colors visible.


If light reflects off an object what determines the color?

When light hits an object, some of the light spectrum is absorbed and some is reflected. The colour you see is the reflected light. The rest is absorbed. For example a red T shirt will absorb all the colours in the light spectrum a nd reflect red. Black absorbes all light and reflects non hence darkness and white is the reflection of the full spectrum. Orange is a blended reflection of Yellow and red.


Scientifically How are images formed in a mirror?

Anything and everything you see is light. We are surrounded by white light. It is in a way wrong to actually say that a car is green and a bus is yellow.. The point here is that the light is a spectrum of different colours, that together makes white. When a green car looks green to us, that mean that it actually absorb the other colors of the white spectrum, hence only reflecting green. Exactly the same with any other object. All colours looks like they do because of their ability to absorb the other colors of the spectrum of light. A mirror on the other hand simply reflect 90-99% of the light that hits it, hence we se a reflection in it. The better mirror, the better reflection.


What do understand by vibgyor?

Vibgyor is the spectrum forms when white light splits. Since different colors have different range of energies and wavelength therefore.when white light splits through prism vibgyor spectrum is obtain but As we take a hollow prism spectrum isn't form 'cos in this condition angle of reflection and emergence inclined.in same plane


How a Continuous spectrum forms?

Continuous spectra of light are formed by all forms of white light. This includes light produced by common light bulbs like incandescent and fluorescents.


An instrument that breaks up white light into spectrum?

A prism is an instrument that breaks up white light into a spectrum.
