As we know there are seven color in a light. It travels in a same velocity when it passes through air, but when it passes through prism different color travels with different velocity, as a result the emergent light is seen in seven color. Ther are; voilent,indigo,blue,green,yellow,red,orange.....

How do white light waves act when they enter a prism?
As we know there are seven color in a light. It travels in a same velocity when it passes through air, but when it passes through prism different color travels with different velocity, as a result the emergent light is seen in seven color. Ther are; voilent,indigo,blue,green,yellow,red,orange.....
Why do you see a rainbow when white light is sent through a prism?
because it refracts in different ways and waves
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.
The spreading of light waves into a spectrum results from?
White light is made up of many lights which have different properties. We say that there are seven colours of light. We see a spectrum when white light is passed through a glass prism. When the various colours pass out of the air and into the prism, they are bent at different angles. This happens again when the rays leave the glass and pass back into the air. That is when we see the almost magical spectrum.
A beam of light is made from how many lights?
the question is phrased poorly, but i think the answer is seven, as in white light is split into seven different wavelengths when passed through a prism.
A prism is a device that separates white light waves into the colors of visible light Which of the following processes allows a prism to work?
Refraction

How does the sun combined various color and form white color?
by the help of prism when white colour pass through the prism it gives seven colours like vibgyor same as from other direction of prism i seven lights passes through it gives white light

Why does white light change colour when it passes through a prism?
It doesn't. What happens is that the colors that are already in it are separated by the prism. It's basically because short waves (blue) are refracted more than long waves (red).

What tools can be used to break up white light?
Breaking of white lights means dispersion of light in which the white light or the visible light splits into 7 colors. Many tools may be used to break up the white light but among them one of them is Prism. It can break up the white lights into 7 colors. Keep a white paper in front of the prism and the prism in the sun due to which the sunlight coming from the sun passes through the prism and the white breaks up into 7 colors due to change in velocity of the different invisible lights inside the white or the visible light. Other tools like plastic scale or ruler also can be used to break up the white light. Thank you

What happens when you add different colored lights to a prism?
If these colors most likley as the color spectrum all added on a prism it may reflect on other objects and make a white light.
How white lights is made up of different colors?
By Dispersion Of light (We call the phenomenon of spiliting of white light into 7 colours as dispersion of light.).......... You Can use Prism.....
Does the colour of incoming light affect the pattern of the prism?
Sure. The prism just spreads out the wavelengths that enter it. No color can come out of the prism that didn't go into the prism. When white light goes in, you see all colors come out, because white light is a mix of all colors. But if the light that entered the prism was a mix of only red and blue, then all you'd see come out would be a red stripe and a blue stripe, with no light in between them.
Why is white light dispersed by a glass prism?
When white light(composite light) consisting of various colors is passed through a prism, light of different colors will be deviated through different angles. Since the deviation is related to refractive index and refractive index to the color of light the deviation produced for different colors are different for same prism.That is the refractive indices are different for the various colors and this difference in the refractive indices is responsible for dispersion.
