How can you show that visible light is made up of many different wavelength?

A prism will separate visible light into its component colors.


Are liquids visible?

Depends on which liquid you are talking of. Colored liquids are obviously easily seen. Transparent liquids like water may not be surely seen but they often reflect light and show properties like diffraction which allows you to sense its presence.Diffraction is the phenomena in which light waves are bent by an obstacle through which it passes. You may have noticed that when you fill a bucket with water, the bucket appears shallower than it really is. This is diffraction of light by water.Therefore, there is often an indirect way to see invisible liquids.


How do you sketch the graph of intensity vs distance to show the diffraction pattern of a monochromatic light produced by two slits and produced by diffraction grating?

Just go play some CSS, forget physics.


How can visible liht be divided to show the various colors?

What is the difference between the light you see from stars and light you see from planets?

Visible light is defined as ALL frequencies in the range of 380 to 750 nm, and shows up as a smooth transition of colors like a rainbow when we split it up with a prism or diffraction grating. The spectrum of a star (like our Sun) contains (or is missing, depending on how you look at it) absorption lines that show up as dark lines in the spectrum. The link below has a very good visual comparison.


What do false colour images from visible light satellites show us?

it shows us nothing


Why ultra violet radiation not show any diffraction pattern?

Ultraviolet radiation does diffract (show a diffraction pattern.) All electro magnetic radiation will diffract. Even particle radiation will diffract.


The tool used to show the structure of DNA was?

X-ray diffraction


Why does the moon only show up when its dark?

The moon shows up whenever the light reflected from its surface is strong enough to be seen ... you need to pay more attention to the sky if you think it's only visible at night!


How does the design of Rutherfords experiment show what he was trying to find out?

This classic diffraction experiment was conducted in 1911.


Which direction must the white masthead light be visible?

Rule 21 It must show an unbroken light over an arc of the horizon of 225 degrees and so fixed as to show the light from right ahead to 22.5 degrees abaft of the beam.


How are the continuous bright line spectrum and spectral lines similar?

In a continuous spectrum, you see every color in visible light from wavelengths around 380 nm to 780 nm. The bright light spectrum has only light at specific wavelengths, forming narrow regions of lights. This is characteristic of a particular substance, emitting these lights from its unique electron configuration. Light at specific wavelengths is emitted for different substances, but not a continuous rainbow.
