What causes the different colors in the spectrum?
Visible light contains all of the colors with in the spectrum. The only way we see color is the bending and refraction of the visible light sending certain wave lengths back, which our brain interprets as different colors.
Different colors are the result of different what?
varying speeds different colors of light travel
How white light produced different colors?
White light doesn't produce different colors. The only way to make white light is tocombine light with all of the different colors. So if you already have white light, allof the colors are already there. You only have to separate them in order to see them.
Light of different wavelengths is different colors?
Yes that is true. Different wavelengths means different colors. The amplitude of the wave determines how bright the light is.
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.

Can people see different colors?
no you can not see colors at night because color is the eyes perception of refracted light
How do different colors of light travel?
Different Colors Of Light Travel At Different Speeds.
How is a prism able to break sunlight into its component colours?
Different colors of light travel at slightly different speeds in the material of the prism. This causes a refraction that spreads apart the colors.
White light breaks up into different colors when it passes through a prism because of?
White light is a mixture of colored light, and that each color is refracted to a different extent. The different colors correspond to light with different wavelengths, and are refracted to different degrees. This separation of colors is known as dispersion. Which causes the seperation of white light into seven colours Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet.
What is a Range of light of different colors and different wavelengths?
I believe that a range of light of different colors and different wavelengths is a spectrum.
How are other colors perceived by the human eye?
Cells called cones help in light perception
Different colors are the result of different what?
varying speeds different colors of light travel
What are cones and what is their role in the perception of color?
Cones are the light receptors on the retina of an eye that distinguish the various colors.

What determines the colors seen when light exits a raindrop?
White light is a mix of different colors. Different colors will be refracted at different angles, so they will exit a raindrop in different places.
What phenomenon causes rainbow?
The refraction of light through water. Basically light travels through a surface such as water and the different light spectrums get broken down giving you the colors you see.
