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.

Refraction can separate white light into what?
Refraction can separate white light into the spectrum of visible light from red to violet.
Who are Brewster-Newton theory?
The two people referred to are David Brewster and Isaac Newton. David Brewster intensively studied absorption spectroscopy. These researches led him to dissent from Newton's doctrine of colors and to affirm a "Newtonian" emission theory of light. By 1831 he had determined that the light spectrum "consists of three spectra of equal length, beginning and terminating at the same points, viz. a red spectrum, a yellow spectrum, and a blue spectrum."
Refraction can separate white light into?
Refraction can separate white light into the spectrum of visible light from red to violet.
Which type of spectrum is produced when light from the sun passes through a prism?
It is the spectrum of visible light, which has the colors of the rainbow.
Light produced by mixing all colors of the visible spectrum?
white light
Who proved that the visible light is composed of spectrum of colors?
Sir Issac Newton.
What did newtons use to separate white light into a spectrum of colors?
a prism
Refraction can separate white light into what?
Refraction can separate white light into the spectrum of visible light from red to violet.
How does light separate into the colors of the visible spectrum?
When light goes through a prism, it separates into a rainbow.
Which scientific tool can also separate white light into a spectrum of colors?
A prism
Where you see a spectrum of colours?
If you pass white light through a prism, it will separate out into the individual colors of the visible spectrum.
Why does white light separate into the spectrum of colors when forming a rainbow?
It's a wonder of this universe.
The band of colors produced when white light is divided into its separate colors?
I believe its called the spectrum though i may be wrong
Why is a spectrum of colors not obtained when light passes through a glass slab?
The light has to pass through in a way that the colors are separated and refracted, but if they pass through glass and are not refracted in a certain way they will not separate the spectrum
All of the colors in white light are visable when white light is?
Yes, although the separate colors are perceived to your eye as white. If you have a prism you can separate white light into the continuous color spectrum. This effect is also achieved in rainbows.
When sunlight passes through a prism the different wavelengths separate into an what of colors?
A spectrum. The rainbow is an example of refracted light.
Who discovered that color is a direct function of light by passing sunlight through a prism and observing the bands of spectrum of colors?
Isaac Newton
