What is a sentence you can use for the word prism?
I like to look at the prism.The light prism fascinates me.
Why is white light dispersed by a glass prism?
When white light(composite light) consisting of various colors is passed through a prism, light of different colors will be deviated through different angles. Since the deviation is related to refractive index and refractive index to the color of light the deviation produced for different colors are different for same prism.That is the refractive indices are different for the various colors and this difference in the refractive indices is responsible for dispersion.
How do you use prism in a sentence?
Wow that prism sure makes some pretty colors when light shines through it!
How do colors form?
Think of this as a science experiment, take a glass or cristal prism and take it in a dak room but with some sort of light. Such as a window with a shade. Take a flash light and a prism (cristal or glass better with glass). Set the prism on the table and shine the light through one side. Does it make a rainbow? If not I don't know what you did wrong cause it worked for me.
How do you make a triangular prism out of cardboard?
Google 'triangular prism net' and there will be some guides on there.
Why do telescopes for astronomy not have prisms?
Some telescopes do. These are usually at the eyepiece end of a refractor telescope (i.e. one with the lens at the top and you look through the bottom end. The prism bends the light at right angles so you don't get a stiff neck. The prism makes viewing more comfortable. I use one on my telescope.
What is a substance that gives color by reflecting some colors of light and absorbing other colors of light?
a prism i think
What is mirror or prism?
A mirror is something you look in to see a reflection.In optics, a prism is a transparent optical element with flat, polished surfaces that refract light. The exact angles between the surfaces depend on the application. The traditional geometrical shape is that of a triangular prism with a triangular base and rectangular sides, and in colloquial use "prism" usually refers to this type. Some types of optical prism are not in fact in the shape of geometric prisms. Prisms are typically made out of glass, but can be made from any material that is transparent to the wavelengths for which they are designed.
Why light get scatter when passed through a prism?
White light contains all the colors of a rainbow in the form of waves which have different wavelengths. So when light is passed through a prism, the waves appears to be scattered because some waves have less refraction and some waves have more refraction due to their wavelengths.
Is a triangular prism a prism?
yes it is prism for some reason.
Light refracts when light passes from one?
Some kind of lens or a change in a substance: the surface of a pond, through a prism, through glass... all of these may refract light.
Why do the colors of the rainbow come out of a prism?
A rainbow results only when "white light" shines through it. White light is a combination of light of many different wavelengths (we see different wavelengths as different colors). Each wavelength is refracted (bended) at a slightly different angle, separating the different colors for us to see.
