You can break white light without a prism by using a device called a diffraction grating. A diffraction grating has thinly etched lines; you can see this effect by noticing the rainbows you see from the bottom of a DVD.

A prism breaks white light into what?
A dispersive prism can break light into its spectral colours, or the colours of the rainbow
What is a piece of glass that can break white light into the colors that make it?
A prism
What is the instrument used to break white light into a rainbow?
I believe that you are talking about a prism, and the process where the light is broken up in to its constituent parts is called dispersion
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 does a prism do to white light to break it up into the colors of the rainbow?
farts and ladybugs
What is the break up of white light into seven colours?
It is the refraction of white light being shone through a glass prism, or a raindrop, that separates the white light into the colours of the rainbow.
What did newton use to separate white light into spectrum of colors?
Newton Discovered that White light comprised of the entire spectrum of the visible wave length. When white light was shone through a triangular prism, it refracted the entire color spectrum.
Why does the spectrum appear when White light is shone into a prism?
because the prism splits the white light into all colors of visible light
What causes a prism to show colored light when you look into white light?
This is because when the white light it's the prism, the colours separate and change speeds.
What bends white light?
prism
What can be separated with a prism?
White light.
What tool can be used to separate white light into different colors?
A prisma prismA prism separates light into the colors of the rainbow...a good way to remember the colors in their proper order is Roy G. Biv = red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet.prismA prism is what Newton used.A 60/60/60 Glass triangular prism.Prism, or a diffraction grating.A prism is a device that separates white light into the different coloursThe device that is used to separate white light into colors is called a prism. It uses a property of light called refraction. Refraction works because as light enters the prism, the speed slows down. When the light exits the prism, the change in speed causes the white light to break into the colors that make it up.
