Different colors are the result of different what?
varying speeds different colors of light travel
Can colors travel in vacuum?
Yes colors can travel through vaccum as colors are formed due to light of different wavelengths.As light can travel through vaccum so do colors.
Is speed related to the color of a light wave?
No. All colors of light travel at the same speed in vacuum. Different colors represent light waves with different wavelengths (frequencies).
Why does light refract?
Because light travels at different velocities, and various colors of light also travel at different speeds in optical media.
How is a prism able to break sunlight into its component colours?
Different colors of light travel at slightly different speeds in the material of the prism. This causes a refraction that spreads apart the colors.
What is a Range of light of different colors and different wavelengths?
I believe that a range of light of different colors and different wavelengths is a spectrum.
How does the prism separate white light into colors?
It is due to the differing frequencies of colors of light. The different frequencies of light actually travel at different speeds,through a medium such as glass. When the light enters glass at an angle, the different speeds of each frequency cause the light to bend. Each color exits the glass at their own unique angle and separate.
Does red light travel faster than blue light?
No. All colors travel at the same speed. It is called "the speed of light".
What is a device that splits light into a spectrum for analysis?
A prism is a device that splits light into a band of colors known as spectrum by taking advantage of the property of different colors to travel with different velocities in the same medium. answered by priyanka tripathi 'diksha' frm: V.P.S.
How white light produced different colors?
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.
What determines the colors seen when light exits a raindrop?
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.
Light of different wavelengths is different colors?
Yes that is true. Different wavelengths means different colors. The amplitude of the wave determines how bright the light is.
