Which type of spectrum is produced when white light from the Sun passes through a prism?
The colors you see in a rainbow Continuous spectrum :)
Does the prism change the color of the light?
A prism will split white light into its constituent colours (the colours of the rainbow). "White light" is the light we see around us i.e. natural light from the sun. This light is made up of all the colours in the visible spectrum
Who discovered that white light made of many colours?
Sir Isaac Newton discovered that white light was made of seven different colors in the 17th century. He was able to prove that when some of the white light from the sun passes through a prism shaped piece of glass, the light scatters into a spectrum, which is a spectrum of what we know as the rainbow.
What is the spectrum of sunlight?
spectrum of light is the colors of son or u can say the elements of sun. we find out the elments of sun with the help of spectroscope, a prism in spectroscope help to break down the colors or spectra of sun light. spectrum of light is the colors of son or u can say the elements of sun. we find out the elments of sun with the help of spectroscope, a prism in spectroscope help to break down the colors or spectra of sun light.
What light includes all colors from the spectrum?
Any light that originated from heat consist of light at all spectrum band. I believe you might want to know if it is white light, from human biology we do see the overall light's colour as white even if the light compose from just red blue and green. Only light that come from source of heating like Sun light, candle, wood fire do contain the full spectrum. The thermal radiation is also called black body radiation.

Is the continuous spectrum really continuous Or just too close to distinguish?
The spectrum produced by something that's heated, like the sun or an incandescent light, is continuous.
How does the spectrum of helium differ from the spectrum of white light from the Sun?
what r u on about
Does the sun give off a discontinuous spectrum?
No. The sun gives off a full continuous spectrum.
What type of spectrum do we see from the sun?
some of the light from the corona produces a continuous spectrum that lacks absorption lines. however the type is absorption spectrum
What is a rainbow and how are they formed?
the white light gets made into a spectrum when it goes through the raindrops, but you also need the sun to shine to produce te white light
What is a natural phenomenon that exhibits a continuous spectrum?
A continuous spectrum is produced when white light passes through a prism or when hot gas is heated to incandescence. In either case the light is separated into its component colors based on their different wavelengths. All the colors of the visible spectrum from red to violet are present in the resulting continuous spectrum.When white light passes through a prism the individual wavelengths of light are bent at different angles separating the light into a spectrum. This is known as dispersion. The prism separates the wavelengths of light into visible colors with the shortest wavelength being the color red and the longest wavelength being the color violet.When hot gas is heated to incandescence the gas molecules become excited and emit light. The light produced is a continuous spectrum because all the wavelengths of visible light are present. The intensity of the emitted light varies with the wavelength with the shortest wavelength having the greatest intensity and the longest wavelength having the least intensity.
How does the spectrum of white light from the sun?
White light contains all the colors. The different colors of light are at different frequencies. On the high frequency end you have violet and on the low end you have red.
Does the sun make teeth white?
White the sun will not whiten your teeth on it's own, it may improve the whitening effects of whitening gels due to the UV light within the sun's spectrum.
Why does the sun produce a continuous spectrum but the fluorescent lights produce a line spectrum?
The sun produces a (nearly) continuous spectrum (gaseous elements in the Sun's atmosphere absorb certain frequencies, making it not quite truly continuous) because it's emitting light due mainly to its temperature. This kind of radiation is called "black body" or "cavity" radiation, and it's a continuous spectrum. Fluorescent lights produce light by a phenomenon known as (hold on for the shocking revelation) fluorescence. This kind of radiation is related to transitions between specific electron energy levels, and therefore consists of discrete lines. In old or cheap fluorescent tubes, there might be only a couple of lines. Most modern ones use a mixture of phosphors that emit light at different frequencies, so you might see half a dozen or more lines in the spectrum.
What type of spectrum does the Sun's photosphere produce?
Visible light is a portion of the electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye. Stars Emit their own light. visible Light has a Wavelength of around 80 or 400 nm to about 760 or 780 nm
How is white and black different and say it with detail?
White objects reflects visual "light" where as black objects absorb it. black the color is every color so it absorbs all the light(every color in the spectrum), and white is the lack of color so it reflects all the light(every color in the spectrum) that's why you get warmer when you wear black in the sun because it absorbs the sun and white reflects it.
