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.

Why is light radio waves and microwave ovens related?
Light waves, radio waves, and microwaves are all on the electromagnetic spectrum.
What type of light waves can travel through a vacuum?
Light spectrum is part of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum. Electromagnetic waves travel better and faster (light speed in vacuum) in vacuum.
Does a electromagnetic spectrum consists of sound waves and light waves?
No. Only light. bcoz light is a transverse wave where as sound is a longitudinal wave.electromagnetic consist of all transverse waves
What is another word for light waves?
Electromagnetic waves or radiation. "Light," however, generally refers to that portion of the EM spectrum that our eyes can detect.
A range of light waves with different wavelenghts and energies is called an?
The name given to the range of waves with increasing energies is called the Electromagnetic Spectrumi think it is spectrum
Sentence for the word electromagnetic spectrum?
White light, which can split in to the colours is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are, cosmic rays, X-rays, UV light, infra red(IR) waves, micro waves, and radio waves. m ic ray of the spectrum
Why is light radio waves and microwave ovens related?
Light waves, radio waves, and microwaves are all on the electromagnetic spectrum.
What kind of scientist studies the spectrum?
If you are meaning the light spectrum, Physicists study all forms of light and waves and what they do.
What are visible light waves are part of?
The electromagnetic spectrum
Visible light waves are part of the?
electromagnetic spectrum.
Why is the electromagnetic spectrum called a spectrum?
electromagnetic spectrum is called as the spectrum because it consists of different lights like radio waves, micro waves, infrared, visible light, ultra violet light, x-rays, gamma-rays
What type of light waves can travel through a vacuum?
Light spectrum is part of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum. Electromagnetic waves travel better and faster (light speed in vacuum) in vacuum.
What is next to ultraviolet in the light spectrum?
Starting at ultraviolet, longer waves are waves of visible violet light, and shorter waves are X-rays.
Is a rainbow made up of radio waves?
no, they are made up of light waves, similar to radio waves and both are in the same spectrum (the electromagnetic spectrum) but they have different wavelenghts.
Why is the sunlight reaching the earth yellowish?
Sunlight is actually light waves of different frequencies. Some of these waves are part of the visible light spectrum (ROYGBIV), and therefore sunlight appears white, a combination of all the frequencies in the visible light spectrum. Light waves with lower frequencies appear more red or orange. Light waves with higher frequencies appear violet or blue. When sunlight shines down through the atmosphere, the particles in the air scatter the light waves of higher frequencies, therefore spreading the waves in different directions in the sky (This is why the sky appears blue). The lower frequency waves reach our eyes mostly undisturbed. Since sunlight has light frequencies dominant in yellow, that's the color we see.
What makes light waves different in electromagnetic spectrum?
the wavelengths
Does a electromagnetic spectrum consists of sound waves and light waves?
No. Only light. bcoz light is a transverse wave where as sound is a longitudinal wave.electromagnetic consist of all transverse waves
