VIBGYOR.

The previous answer is most unlikely. It would have been called the spectrum. The spectrum is a continuum of colours so there is no obvious reason for seven colours. It is believed that Newton actually noted 4 colours (and intermediate shades) and the 7 colours of the visible spectrum were introduced to align the number with the musical scale. The BIV division seems too artificial.
Furthermore, the British acronym is ROYGVIB so VIBGYOR is an unlikely name for Newton to have come up with.
What else can I help you with?
What do you call a glass device that can be used to separate light?
A prism.
How do you find the color of light?
A prism will doToo generic a question. "Light" as we generally call it encompasses all the colors. You can however separate the frequencies of visible light with a simple prism.For a wider band of light outside the visual range you would need a spectrometer.
What do you call a series of bands of coloured light when defusing white light through a prism?
Is spectrum too simplistic an answer?
How is white light is made of colors?
By Dispersion Of light (We call the phenomenon of spiliting of white light into 7 colours as dispersion of light.).......... You Can use Prism.....
What do you call when light goes through prism and comes out the other end it starts with re?
refraction
What do you call a prism spreading out light into colors?
It is called Visible light Spectrum.
How is white light made-up of different colors?
By Dispersion Of light (We call the phenomenon of spiliting of white light into 7 colours as dispersion of light.).......... You Can use Prism.....
What do you call the different wavelengths within the visible light band?
colors
How white lights is made up of different colors?
By Dispersion Of light (We call the phenomenon of spiliting of white light into 7 colours as dispersion of light.).......... You Can use Prism.....
What do you call the three sided piece of glass that separates white light into the different colors?
A "prism". Note: Prisms actually have five sides. There is no three-sided polyhedron.
What word describes the bending of light as it enters and leaves a prisam?
When light traverse the interface between two transparent material with a different refraction index it undergo refraction, that is the angle of incidence on the interface is different from the angle with which the light comes out from the surface itself. In a prism refraction happens as the light passes from air to the prism material (generally glass or a polymer like PMMA, also called Plexiglas) and when the light leaves the prism, passing from it to air again. Since the difference of incident and emerging angles is opposite passing from air to prism and from prism to air (let us call that angle q) the total diffraction angle due to the passage through a prism is 2 q. Since q depends on the light wavelength (that is on the light color) different colors are diffracted at different angles and the light at the prism output appears as decomposed in different rays, exiting from the prism with different angles, one for each color. Doping the prism glass with impurities increasing a lot its refraction index, complete refraction can be obtained for selected light colors. These colors at the first interface with the prism have a refraction angle greater than 90° and light of those colors does not enter into the prism. Thus colors suffering total refractions lack from the prism output light.
Why do the colors split up in the spectrum?
White light can be split up into lots of different coloured light waves using a prism. We call this range of colours the visible spectrum.
