Does the frequency of light change when it is reflected?
No. Otherwise, we would have seen new colours when light is reflected, since all the colours have different frequencies.
How do colored filters absorb and transmit different colors of light?
A filter absorbs some colours of white light and lets other colours through to create coloured light
Splitting white light into different colors?
Splitting white light into different colours is an optical phenomenon called Dispersion.
Why do different colours of white light bend through different angels with respect to the incident beam of light?
Refraction ! The light is made up of different frequencies that bend at different amounts
Why does a prism cause white light to separate into the spectrum?
Because different colours have different have speeds in a prism , as refractive index depends on speed of the object therefore different colours have different refractive indexes
Why in some jurisdictions the traffic light colours have different shapes?
Traffic light colours have different shapes in order to inform the colour blind what colour the light is.
What is The spreading of light into its different colours?
Its a spectrum
How do different colors appear on CD?
When white light shines on the CD, the light is separated into seven colours, so different colours appear on the CD.
What happens when light is shone at a prism?
It splits into the colours that make it up, so white light makes a rainbow, and different colours produce different results.
What are some examples of light?
According to the range of frequency of emission light has different colours in different frequenies. Violet. Indigo, Blue, green,Yellow, Orange,Red are the main colours of light.
How can yellow be produced on a screen if only red and green light are available?
Red light plus green light equals yellow light. This is why you get yellow on a screen. Light colours mixed give you different colours to paint colours. Light Primary colours are red, blue and green but Paint Primary colours are red, blue and yellow.
When light is refracted through a prism different colours emerge. Where do the different colours come from?
Most light is a mixture of colors of the spectrum.* White light is composed of all colors. The different wavelengths of light are refracted at different angles, which separates them out into the constituent colors of the original light source. *Laser light is monochromatic.
Is light white?
Light appears white, however it is made up of different colours, which when put together make white light. These colours can be seen if you direct light through a prism. At the right angle the light is split up into the colours (rainbow).
What are the the prime colors of light?
The prime colours of light are green, red and blue. Any other colour is a result of a mixture of these colours. The prime colours of light are different to the prime colours in art, so don't get confused!
Does the frequency of light change when it is reflected?
No. Otherwise, we would have seen new colours when light is reflected, since all the colours have different frequencies.
