What happens to light when it travels through a prism?
the light travels though the prism and is reflected on an object and the light is to go though all side/faces of the prism and the light is to change colorTo make this more clear: The light goes through and separates into different colors of the rainbow.
How does light separate into the colors of the visible spectrum?
When light goes through a prism, it separates into a rainbow.
Why does the violet light split into different colors when it passes through the prism?
Violet light does not split into different colors when it passes through a prism.If it goes in violet, it comes out violet.White light is a combination of light of many colors. If you pass white light througha prism, a spread of different colors will come out of the prism, because each colorbends through a slightly different angle on its way through the prism.
What do you call when light goes through prism and comes out the other end it starts with re?
refraction
What color do you see when a ray of white light goes through a prism?
all the colors of the rainbow
What happens when light goes in or out of glass?
If it is a glass prism, the light gets split into is spectrum of colours. Normal light looks a bit like a rainbow afterwards.
What happens when light goes through a triangular prism?
it makes a rainbow. (R.O.Y.G.B.I.V) R- red O-orange Y-yellow G-green B-blue I-indigo V-violet
What happens if you put a transparent object against the sun?
When you put a transparent object against the sun, the light goes through the object. Depending on the material and thickness of the object, it may refract or bend the light, casting a shadow or creating a prism effect.
What happens when you shine light through plain glass?
It goes out the other side.
What and is refraction?
Reflection: light bounces off of a surface, like a mirror.Refraction: light goes through a substance and bends. For example, white light through a prism comes out in a rainbow because the light is refracted or bent and each color has a different index of refraction.
What happens when light goes through a single median?
When light goes through a single medium, it continues in a straight line but may change speed depending on the properties of the medium. The speed change may cause the light to bend or refract.
How light splits into a rainbow?
Depending on how the 'lightwaves' are split, ie a prism, or water in the air from rain, what happens is (from my understanding) the light which is composed of many colors, is refracted by the angle/medium of the particular object that the light wave goes through. Depending on the angle and material of the object, the visible colors vary. Dispersion If you look up prisms, this will explain this phenomenon
