Who discovered that white light made of many colours?
Sir Isaac Newton discovered that white light was made of seven different colors in the 17th century. He was able to prove that when some of the white light from the sun passes through a prism shaped piece of glass, the light scatters into a spectrum, which is a spectrum of what we know as the rainbow.
Newton discovered that the colors formed by a prism can be recombined to create what light?
When the colors formed by a prism is made to pass through a second prism, it results in producing white light. Newton's experiment demonstrated in this method is recombination of light. Conversely dispersion can be demonstrated with the help of a single prism.
What would you observe if light were passed through a prism?
The light would split into a rainbow.
Which colour of a light shows maximum deviation when passed through a prism?
Violet
When white light passed through prism the colour which has least deviation?
red

Who discovered that light is made up of 7 colours?
Isaac Newton discovered that white light is made up of seven different colors when he passed sunlight through a glass prism.
What happens when a light goes through a prism?
when normal white light is passed through a prism, it is split up into all the rainbow colors.

How did sir isaac newton influenced the way people thought about light?
he said that light consisted of different wavelengths and when it is passed through a prism the wave lengths get split up and form different colours
What is the hidden color?
hook and newton. Issac newton first solved the puzzle correctly. he worked out that ordinary whit light contains all colors of the rainbow . he set up a demonstration to show that his ideas were right and that another scientist,RobertHookewas wrong . Hook's ideas was that a prism colors the light. Newton shone a narrow beam of ordinary light on toa prism. He saw arainbow of colors coming from the gall. Then he blocked out all the colorsexceptfor the blue light and passed this blue light through a second prism. If hook was right , the second prism would re-color the bluelight. But as newton showed it didn't. The bluelight stayed blue. It was just as newton demonstrated, a prism splits up the colors, And then blue lightpassing through a prism stays blue and red light stays red. Newton's idea that lightcontainsas school. It is hard to imagine that scientist once doubted it. we also now that, as Newton demonstrated, if you add together light of all the colors, the result white light.
What did newton use to separate white light into spectrum of colors?
Newton Discovered that White light comprised of the entire spectrum of the visible wave length. When white light was shone through a triangular prism, it refracted the entire color spectrum.
What you observe if light from argon gas were passed through a prism?
a continuous spectrum
When white light passed through prism the colour which has least deviation?
red
Which colour of a light shows maximum deviation when passed through a prism?
Violet
What is the correct punctuate of this sentence Newton discovered that sunlight had many colors when it passed through a prism?
A period. It would look like this: Newton discovered that sunlight had many colors when it passed through a prism. You would use a period because it is a statement. You use periods for statements or imperative sentences (commands).
