A prism will split white light into its constituent colours (the colours of the rainbow).
"White light" is the light we see around us i.e. natural light from the sun. This light is made up of all the colours in the visible spectrum

If the laser that emits red light shines on a prism what will emerge?
Red light, going in a different direction.
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 did you observe with indicates of refraction of the color of light in the acrylic prism?
why did you observe with indices of refraction of the colors of light in the acrylic prism
Which color of light is dispersed most by a prism?
The refractive index of violet light is most in a glass prism and is the least for the red light. So violet light is most refracted in the glass prism.
What color is least bent by a prism?
Red light is refracted the least by a prism as it has the longest wavelength.

Does a light bulb color impact a prism?
yes

How can light be separates into its primary color?
By passsing it through a prism.
Which color of light moves the fastest through a prism?
Violet
What is a prism and what does it do to a white light?
They separate light into the light spectrum. If a beam of light shines through a prism, a rainbow of color will show out through the opposite side.
What phenomenon cause color of visible light to be separate by a prism?
Refraction is the phenomenon causes colors of visible light to be separated by a prism.
A device that uses a prism or diffraction grating to separate light into its color components?
A device for separating light into different colors is know as a ?
How can you separate the color of visible light?
This is normally done by passing the light through a prism.
