How much of the visible spectrum is contained in white light?

White light contains all the possible colors of the visible spectrum, so they are the same thing.

White light contains all the colors of the visible spectrum.

The components of the visible light spectrum all (Yellow, red, green blue, indigo, and all the others) combined is the color white.

All colours of the visible light spectrum are absorbed by black objects and that's how you "see" black. All colours of the visible light spectrum are reflected by white objects and that's how you "see" white. Not very clear? Go to this page for more info on visible spectrum: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visible_spectrum

Visible light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. A prism will break white light up into a spectrum of colors.

We can split white light by passing it through a prism

White light covers the entire visible spectrum, so every colour is in white light.

This light consists of all the colors of the rainbow, which are in the visible spectrum of electromagnetic waves. White light consists of: violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red, in the order from the lower end of the electromagnetic spectrum of visible light to the higher end of the spectrum.

No colours are absorbed by white objects. White light is the combination of light of all wavelengths in the visible spectrum and since all wavelengths are reflected (perception of colour is based on reflected light), none are absorbed.

Refraction can separate white light into the spectrum of visible light from red to violet.

it is white light. we get white light example of sun

Black. it absorbs the entire visible spectrum, whereas white reflects the entire visible spectrum.

White light.

White Light.

No, white light is the combination of the entire visible light spectrum.

White light contains all of the colors in the visible spectrum. Black contains none of these colors.

only the color white

White light in science is a composite of the full visible spectrum from red to violet.

the visible spectrum (a raindow)

when dispersed through a prism: Visible spectrum of light (rainbow) part of (very small fraction) electromagnets spectrum

Some light in the green area of the visible spectrum is reflected back to the observer while light in the rest of the visible spectrum is mostly absorbed.

Yes visible light is part of what is called the electromagnetic spectrum. White light is actually all of the visible spectrum being seen. This is demonstrated by white light passing through a prism and being broken up into its component colors, such as a rainbow.

White light is what we see when light of all (or most) of the frequencies in the visible spectrum are emitted together from the same source. It is the combination of every visible light wave.

White light.

because the prism splits the white light into all colors of visible light

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.

You see white light. White light is the normal color that comes out of your average lightbulb. Colors only reflect a certain portion of the visible spectrum and that is why under a black light or a red light the colors are not as you normally see them.

White light is a mixture of all of the colors of the spectrum. White paint is created with pigment, often titanium dioxide. While white light contains all of the frequencies of the optical spectrum, and white pigments reflect all colors of that visible spectrum.

They all are electromagnetic waves

If you pass white light through a prism, it will separate out into the individual colors of the visible spectrum.

White light is the combination of all the colors of light in the visible spectrum. When it is divided, it becomes all the colors of the rainbow.

White light is the result.

The visible spectrum.

No, the color white is a color. White reflects all colors of the visible light spectrum to the eyes.

blue light is a part of visible spectra

It is a little triangle and if you hold a white light to it, it seperates the light into the 7 colors.

White light comprises light from all the frequency bands in the spectrum of visible light. Hence, it is a combination of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

White light is composed of many colours. When these colours combine, they look white. One way of showing that white light is composed of different colours is to make white light pass through a glass prism. This splits up the white light into its constituent colours. I f you hold a screen in its path, you will see a band of colours. This band of colours is called the spectrum. Since it is visible to…

because it refarts the light. in easier form it bends the light

White light is a combination of seven fundamental colors namely: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. When white light hits a barrier, it is reflected, refracted, or absorbed. In refraction, there is a great possibility that this light will also undergo dispersion. Dispersion is the breaking of white light into all the colors of the visible spectrum.

The visible spectrum.

The visible spectrum is made up of wavelengths from about 400 nm to 700 nm. the combination of all those wavelengths creates white light.

All of them. White light is formed by all the colours of the visible spectrum combined.

White light is a mixture of all colors of light within the visible spectrum. The white paper reflects all of the light, which is why you see the white paper as being white.

One device that splits white light into the colors of the visible spectrum is called a prism. It is a triangular piece of glass through which a narrow band of white light can pass. The blue color light is bent most, and the red color light bent the least. So the colors in-between red and blue are seen on a screen as a spectrum. A rainbow is produced when drops of water in the sky…

When you shine white light through a prism, at the correct angle wherever the prism is pointing you will see the spectrum, this is because when the light shines through the angles of the prism, the white light will become dispersed through the angles so that the white light is streched out to reveal what the spectrum is made up of =D

No. They're called the visible spectrum, the range of wavelengths us humans can see.

White light is the sum total of the colors in the visible spectrum. We know this because it's possible to separate white light, with a simple prism, into a visible spectrum, from red to violet. If you have a prism at home you can try it yourself! if not, do an internet search for Dark Side of the Moon, by Pink Floyd.

A white object emits light in all/most of the visible spectrum evenly. Because it reflects all the light back.

It splits white light up into the colors of the visible spectrum, but if the colors go through another prism, they turn into white light again.
