White light is made up of 7 colours. When put through a prism like a raindrop or a glass block, the 7 colours all travel at different speeds, because some slow down more than others. Thus, light is dispersed into it's spectrum

For normal incidence does white light disperse into it's constituent colours?
that is where we get rainbows. light shines through rain drops and refracts it's individual colors. For normal incidence there is no dispersion and hence the rays will not disperse into its constituent colors .(pearlsawme)
Why prisms disperse white light?
Different colors of light have different indices of refraction.Thats why different colors of light deviate through different angles and gets separated out which is called dispersion.
Does a white car reflect light?
no cause
Which colour of White light is scattered the least and why?
White light is light that has not been scattered. Shine a beam of white light through a prism, and the light is separated into 'rainbow' colours. Sunlight shining through raindrops is the cause of a rainbow appearing in the sky.
What makes laser light disperse?
Refraction of the medium it is passing through.
What can b used to disperse white light into the 7 colours of the rainbow?
A prism.

Why does a prism cause white light to separete into the colors of the spectrum?
Be cause it's white
Does a white car reflect light?
no cause
What cause the center of the eye to be white?
Light
What happens to colors as light travels in water?
They disperse.
How light disperse through a drop of water?
It refracts
What seeds use wind to disperse?
Because it is light and small
How does a fennel seed disperse?
by wind as being very light
What happens when you make a rainbow with the help of a glass of water and sunlight?
The sunlight hits the glass of water and then the light disperses out as a spectrum of colour (rainbow). This is because sunlight is white light and white light contains the 7 colours of the rainbow. When it hits the glass the colours refract and disperse out as the spectrum of colours, which we see as a rainbow.
What can cause all colors of visible light to be seen in a rainbow?
water separate white light into visible light
