Is speed related to the color of a light wave?
No. All colors of light travel at the same speed in vacuum. Different colors represent light waves with different wavelengths (frequencies).
Different colors are the result of different what?
varying speeds different colors of light travel
How white light produced different colors?
White light doesn't produce different colors. The only way to make white light is tocombine light with all of the different colors. So if you already have white light, allof the colors are already there. You only have to separate them in order to see them.
Light of different wavelengths is different colors?
Yes that is true. Different wavelengths means different colors. The amplitude of the wave determines how bright the light is.
Why prisms disperse white light?
Different colors of light have different indices of refraction.Thats why different colors of light deviate through different angles and gets separated out which is called dispersion.
What do different colors of visible light represent?
Different electromagnetic wavelengths/frequencies.

No. All colors of light travel at the same speed in vacuum. Different colors represent light waves with different wavelengths (frequencies).
What do the different colors in a light spectrum represent?
Different energy radiations reflecting different energy level changes.
How do different colors of light travel?
Different Colors Of Light Travel At Different Speeds.
What is a Range of light of different colors and different wavelengths?
I believe that a range of light of different colors and different wavelengths is a spectrum.
Different colors are the result of different what?
varying speeds different colors of light travel

What determines the colors seen when light exits a raindrop?
White light is a mix of different colors. Different colors will be refracted at different angles, so they will exit a raindrop in different places.
Light of different wavelengths is different colors?
Yes that is true. Different wavelengths means different colors. The amplitude of the wave determines how bright the light is.
Why prisms disperse white light?
Different colors of light have different indices of refraction.Thats why different colors of light deviate through different angles and gets separated out which is called dispersion.
What do the white areas in the interference pattern represent?
The interference of white light creates a spectra. The different wave lengths are each diffracted to a different extent causing successive interference of the colors
What do the colors in a line spectrum represent?
Colors in a spectrum represent different frequencies of light. Light is formed when a particular atom or molecule is stimulated by some energy input - the energy forces an electron to jump to a higher level of excitation. When the electron falls back to its normal state it releases that energy as a photon of light, one that has a particular frequency determined by the atom or molecule and the amount of energy that the electron absorbed. So, when looking at a line spectrum (of, say, the light from a distant star) the color lines show the particular wavelengths of light that the star is giving off, which tell scientists a lot about what elements and compounds are in the star.
