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 two things did newtons prism experiment prove?

Newton's prism experiment proved that white light is composed of different colors (spectrum) and that these colors can be separated by passing through a prism. Additionally, it demonstrated that light can be refracted into its various wavelengths, creating a rainbow effect.


Who is the scientist who used a prism to study light?

Sir Isaac Newton is the scientist who used a prism to study light. He discovered that white light is composed of a spectrum of colors when passed through a prism, leading to his development of the theory of color.


What did newton use to separate white light into spectrum of colors?

Isaac Newton used a triangular prism to separate white light into its spectrum of colors. When white light passes through the prism, the different wavelengths of light are refracted by different angles, causing them to spread out and create the rainbow of colors.


who was the physicist that first discovered how a prism works?
