White light contains all colors. It can be split using a prism (a transparent body, like glass, anything that refracts light, as a drop of water). The colors are then seen as individual wavelengths as the colors: red,orange,yellow,green, blue, indigo, and violet. For example, sunlight passing through droplets of water in the atmosphere after a thunderstorm, producing a rainbow is a good demonstration of how the different colors of light are made.
Visible light waves are made when a photon is emitted from a source and has a frequency, or the correct am mount of energy, to create visible light at a specific color.
A spectrum of colours can be produced when the light passes through a prism.
Example: rainbow
A prism spreads light into different colors (a rainbow). A prism is made out of mainly glass or plastic. Metallic Thunder
varying speeds different colors of light travel
White light doesn't produce different colors. The only way to make white light is tocombine light with all of the different colors. So if you already have white light, allof the colors are already there. You only have to separate them in order to see them.
A rainbow is made of different wavelengths (different colors) of light waves, and light waves are usually considered transverse waves.
Yes that is true. Different wavelengths means different colors. The amplitude of the wave determines how bright the light is.
Different Colors Of Light Travel At Different Speeds.
i think its a prism
Refraction is when light bends through an object. White light is made up of all the colors of the spectrum. Different colors have different wavelengths, therefore they bend at different angles. So when white light passes through a prism the different colors bend at different angles, so they separate to produce the rainbow of light that we see.
Because if the light wasn't made out of different colours you wouldn't be able to see it. It would be invisible.

I believe that a range of light of different colors and different wavelengths is a spectrum.
Newton demonstrated this with his prism.
White light is made up of different colors. When white light enters water (like moisture in the air) it is bent (refracted). However the different colors are bent (refracted) by different amounts. So this different amount of bending has the effect of separating the white light into its colors and we see this as a rainbow.lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
A prism will separate visible light into its component colors.

White light is a mix of different colors. Different colors will be refracted at different angles, so they will exit a raindrop in different places.
