Artificially, a rainbow can be produced by passing white light (sunlight) through a prism. The light passing through the prism constitutes the seven colors of the rainbow.

What splits up white light to form a rainbow?
White light is split into the color spectrum of a rainbow by a process of refraction, reflection, and again refraction within a water droplet. Technically, the refractive index of whatever surface the white light hits determines how the light is split, and thus the size of the rainbow and the number of colors visible.
What property of light causes rainbows to form?
White light is the combination of the colors that form a rainbow. Those colors are Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet (ROYGBIV). A rainbows form because white light is shone through water droplets which acts as a prism slowing down the different wavelengths of these different color lights causing them to split up into their individual components again.
What colors do you think you will see on the paper the white light split into different colors?
Once I'd untangled the English... I think you are asking what colours comprise visble, whitelight.They form the visible spectrum, and are the colours of the rainbow from red to violet, with yellow approximately in the centre.
Colored light formed by a prism can be recombined to form what?
white light.
Why light get scatter when passed through a prism?
White light contains all the colors of a rainbow in the form of waves which have different wavelengths. So when light is passed through a prism, the waves appears to be scattered because some waves have less refraction and some waves have more refraction due to their wavelengths.

White light can be separated into the visible spectrum to form a?
"rainbow"
Do the all of the rainbow colors form to white?
Light is actually white, but when you put it through a special type of mirror, it turns into a rainbow.
What light contains all the colors of the rainbow?
It's "white light". When all colours of the rainbow are combined in their purest form (light), they create white light. All colours of the rainbow can be derived from the colours red, green and blue. These 3 colours are known as the RGB colour model (Red, Green, Blue). When these three colours are combined in their purest form, they also form white light
What is the short form for all the colours of the rainbow white light is really?
The visible spectrum.
What do all the coulours of the rainbow make together?
White. If you take white light and split it into a specturm using a prism you can then recombine it with another prism pointing the other way around to form white light. In fact this was one of the most important and influential experiments ever carried out. It was performed by Isaacc Newton.

What spectrum does white light form?
when dispersed through a prism: Visible spectrum of light (rainbow) part of (very small fraction) electromagnets spectrum
Can bubbles form a rainbow in them?
A rainbow is not formed it is merely a reflection of light. Bubbles can show a rainbow since the light inside is reflected
When two prisms made of same material is placed side by side in same position and light is allowed to pass then what happens?
When white light passes through a prism it spreads to form a rainbow. If that "rainbow" light is then passed through a second prism it cannot recombine to reform white light.NO
Why do rainbows form?
After the rain, small water particles are dispersed in the air. As the sunlight (white light) consists of seven colors, so when it passes through the water droplets, they are split up into there constituents according to the velocities of color. In this way a rainbow is formed.
