What is the best observation of refracting light?

Some of the best observations of refracting light comes from Prisms. A Prisms splits visible light into all of the colors of the spectrum allowing an individual to see the different colors that make up a beam of light.


What effects does a prism have on white light?

It splits it into 8 different colors that makes up the rainbow


How do prisms work?

Refraction is when light bends through an object. White light is made up of all the colors of the spectrum. Different colors have different wavelengths, therefore they bend at different angles. So when white light passes through a prism the different colors bend at different angles, so they separate to produce the rainbow of light that we see.

Depending on how "dark" your skin is, generally green, red and black will show up well. Most other colors such as yellow, blue, etc, will not show up as the pigment of the skin is too dark for them to show through. The ink color white will not show up either.

How light splits into a rainbow?

Depending on how the 'lightwaves' are split, ie a prism, or water in the air from rain, what happens is (from my understanding) the light which is composed of many colors, is refracted by the angle/medium of the particular object that the light wave goes through. Depending on the angle and material of the object, the visible colors vary. Dispersion If you look up prisms, this will explain this phenomenon


When light enters a prism it splits into eight colors?

These are dispersion prisms which break up light into its constituent colors. However to answer you question, it really depends on a number of factors: the spectrum of light entering the prism, the light's angle of incidence, and the ratio between refractive indices of the media.
