What do you call a prism spreading out light into colors?
It is called Visible light Spectrum.
What do you call light divided into wave lengths?
You probably mean "Spectrum".
What do you call a light spectrum that is not continuous?
Discontinuous Spectra, Fraunhofer lines
What is the spectrum that encompasses all of the wavelengths of light?
I would call this just "the visible spectrum." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visible_spectrum
Why are some parts of the electromagnetic spectrum called light and others called waves?
No reason. Light is an electromagnetic wave so you can call any part of the spectrum either.
What do you call all the visible and non-visible colors of light?
the electromagnetic spectrum
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.
What do you call a series of bands of coloured light when defusing white light through a prism?
Is spectrum too simplistic an answer?
Why do the colors in the electromagnetic spectrum split up?
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.
The visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum represent a large portion of the spectrum?
The visible portion of electromagnetic spectrum is called the visible light and is the electromagnetic wave with the wavelength between 380 - 740 nm.
What is the reason that light is electromagnetic wave?
No sure what you mean by "the reason." Electromagnetic waves exist in our Universe. Our eyes are able to detect a small fraction of the spectrum of these waves, and we call that small fraction of the spectrum, "light." In other words, the reason that light is an EM wave is because it IS.
What do you call the range of colours of which white light is made up?
The visible portion of the Electromagnetic Spectrum. Visibility to the human eye is determined by the Frequency (or wavelength) of the light.
