White light is composed of many individual colors. Each color has its own unique frequency and wavelength. Each of these colors is bent (refracted) at different angles. This effect is known as dispersion.

What is the series of colour bands that are formed after light passes through a prism called?
SPECTRUM
Which type of spectrum is produced when white light from the Sun passes through a prism?
The colors you see in a rainbow Continuous spectrum :)
Why is a spectrum of colors not obtained when light passes through a glass slab?
The light has to pass through in a way that the colors are separated and refracted, but if they pass through glass and are not refracted in a certain way they will not separate the spectrum
When is an absorption spectrum produced?
When light from a hot solid or dense gas passes through a cooler gas.
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 does the spectrum consists of?

What is a continues spectrum?
A continuous spectrum shows all of the colors produced when white light passes through a prism.

When a light passes through a prism it spreads into a spectrum of colours what is spreading effect called?
dispersion
What type of spectrum is produced when the light emitted directly from a hot dense object passes through a prism?
Its called atomic spectrum
What happens to white light when it passes at an angle through a prism.?
It is broken up into the full spectrum of colors.
