What kind of pattern of light would you get if you shone monochromatic light on a diffraction grating?
If you shone monochromatic light on a diffraction grating it would alternate bright and dark bands. Only white light white light shone through a diffraction grating would produce a band of colors.
Why does the spectrum appear when White light is shone into a prism?
because the prism splits the white light into all colors of visible light
What happens when light hits a white surface?
By calling it a "white surface", you've already described what happens. A large fraction of the light, regardless of its wavelength, reflects from the surface, and very little of it, regardless of its wavelength, is absorbed. If any of this were appreciably different, then the surface would not be white.
If white light were shone through a green filter which light would pass through the filter?
Mostly green.
If you shine a yellow light on a white surface why does the surface look yellow instead of white?
The white surface reflects the yellow light back to you. White reflects all colours of light, so when it only has yellow light to reflect, it reflects all of the yellow light.
What happens when white light is shone into a mirror?
It reflects back and a small amount is absorbed into its reflective surface.
What corlors make up yellow?
Red and green light, shone to overlap on a white surface, will give yellow.
What happens when a ray shone at a glass block?
The white light splits into a spectrum.the original colors will appear. This is referred as REFRACTION.
What happens when light is shone at a prism?
It splits into the colours that make it up, so white light makes a rainbow, and different colours produce different results.

What colour would a white object be if a blue light shone on it?
blue
What is the break up of white light into seven colours?
It is the refraction of white light being shone through a glass prism, or a raindrop, that separates the white light into the colours of the rainbow.
What happens when the sun shines on a white surface?
The light from the sun, which is made up of equal parts of red, green and blue (even though it may not look it), will be reflected off of the white surface, staying white as the white surface reflects equal parts of red, green and blue.

What would a red object look like shone onto a white light?
red
What colour does red paper look like when white light is shone on it?
It looks red.
