What would you use to split white light into colors?
If white light is shined through a prism, it will be dispersed into colors.
What light shines out of a prism if white light is shined into it?
White light contains all colors of the spectrum. If white light is shined on a prism, we'd expect to see a "rainbow" emerging, and that means red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet.
What happens when a bright light passes through a prism?
A rainbow
What happens to the spectrum if a red light shines on a prism?
red light is monochromatic light and if it shines on a prism its still red light pass through the prism, not 'rainbow' color.
What happens when a laser is shone in to a prism?
It changes its direction, then comes out the other side of the prism, and makes a small spot on the first thing it runs into. A true laser beam consists of only one wavelength (frequency) of light. So there aren't different 'colors' to get split up in the prism. One beam goes in, and one beam comes out ... aimed in a slightly different direction.
What happens when a light is is shined through a prism?
it makes a rainbow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
Would black light break up if it is shined through a prism?
Black light
What would you use to split white light into colors?
If white light is shined through a prism, it will be dispersed into colors.
Why a laser beam cannot be dispersed by passing it through a glass prism?
The laser beam is a highly monochromatic source of light. It consists of only one wavelength and hence does not get dispersed by using a glass prism.
What light shines out of a prism if white light is shined into it?
White light contains all colors of the spectrum. If white light is shined on a prism, we'd expect to see a "rainbow" emerging, and that means red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet.
What happens when a ray shines through a prism?
it makes a rainbow
What happens when a bright light passes through a prism?
A rainbow
What happens when a light goes through a prism?
when normal white light is passed through a prism, it is split up into all the rainbow colors.
Why a laser beam cannot be dispersed by passing through a glass prism?
Because laser light consists of only one frequency (color), so there's nothing to spread out.
What happens when white light passes through an inverted prism?
Colours shine out!
What happens when light passes through the prism in wrong angle?
There is no 'wrong angle' - it either passes through the prism or it doesn't. The blue or violet waves will be the most diffracted.
What happens to the spectrum if a red light shines on a prism?
red light is monochromatic light and if it shines on a prism its still red light pass through the prism, not 'rainbow' color.
