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.
When sunlight pass through a prism the colors separate by bending the red light the least tell me what colors of the rainbow are the most energetic colors and why?
the rainbow colors are in the following order: violet indigo blue green yellow orange red and violet is the most energetic cuz it has the most frequency or the lowest wavelength
When the pink colored light of glowing hydrogen passes through a prism what colors can you see?
Hydrogen breaks down into four colors. Violet at 410 nm, blued/violet at 434 nm blue/green at 464.4 nm and red of 656.2 nm.
Are the colors of the rainbow always in the same order?
yes.the rainbow is formed by water droplets acting as a prism, and the prism shows the color spectrum in ORDER And you can get what's called a double rainbow. In that, the order of colors in the outer arc will be reversed. The colours in order are, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet. :)
Water vapor acts like a prism and can break up white light into different colors to cause a rainbow to appear?
Yes, water vapor can act like a prism. A rainbow is caused by raindrops, not by vapor. When light enters a raindrop at an angle to its surface, different colors refract at different angles as in a prism. A reflection occurs at the far side of the drop, and more refraction occurs as the light exits the drop, to be seen by your eye. Multiple reflections inside the drop are the cause of multiple ("double", even "triple") rainbows.
How a prism reflects colors?
cows are cool haha
How does a prism work and what it does?
What exactly does a "prism" do? How does it work?well it turns out that a prism has light that reflects and on the other side out comes colors of the rainbow
Why does a glass prism show so many colours when light passed through it?
A glass prism shows colors when light passes through it because of its density, the makeup of glass reflects certain colors and alters them to make a pattern like a rainbow.
When can light be detected?
when it reflects off a surface like a mirror or a prism(the prism reflects, absorbs, and retracts light)
Different colors are dispersed by a prism because different colors in the prism have different?
frequencies
How does a prism allow us to see more than just white light?
I got this ! A prism allows you to see more then just white light because the sun reflects to the prism and then that light gets absorbed and reflected back into our eyes to see all the colors of the spectrum.
Which color reflects all the colors of light?
White reflects all other colors of light.
A triangular piece of glass that reflects light?
A prism?
What did you observe with the indicates of the colors of the light in the acrylic prism?
why did you observe with indices of refraction of the colors of light in the acrylic prism
What did you observe with the indices of refraction of the colors of light in the prism?
why did you observe with indices of refraction of the colors of light in the acrylic prism
How many colurs are there in folourecent light?
white lights is all colors equal. look through a prism at tube you will see rainbow effect. white paper reflects all light, while black absorbs all colors. if paper is green it will asorb all colors but green which is reflected back to eye. what ever color you see something are the color(s) it reflects.
What happens in a periscope?
The top of the periscope has a prism that reflects the light to the observers prism. The object the top prism is pointed at is seen at the bottom one.
