What type of material scatters light as it passes through?
Glass or clear plastic in the form of a prism will scatter white light so you can observe the full spectrum of colors
What separates white light into the colors?
A glass prism
Why is a spectrum of colors not obtained when light passes through a glass slab?
The light has to pass through in a way that the colors are separated and refracted, but if they pass through glass and are not refracted in a certain way they will not separate the spectrum
Is the spectrum obtained by an equilateral glass prism pure or impure?
The spectrum is impure, that is, the bands of light will merge together, with no clearly defined boundary.
The spreading of light waves into a spectrum results from?
White light is made up of many lights which have different properties. We say that there are seven colours of light. We see a spectrum when white light is passed through a glass prism. When the various colours pass out of the air and into the prism, they are bent at different angles. This happens again when the rays leave the glass and pass back into the air. That is when we see the almost magical spectrum.

How does light separate into the colors of the visible spectrum?
When light goes through a prism, it separates into a rainbow.
What separates white light into the colors?
A glass prism
What does a prism do to white light?
It separates the light by their wavelengths to make a color spectrum, and gives one a rainbow.

What is a piece of glass that separates the visible wavelengths of light?
reflector
Can light travel through plastic or glass?
Yes it can. Unless the plastic and/or glass is too thick. Some types of glass and plastics make it harder for light to go through. ----------- The question is: Can light pass througth plastic or glass? The answer has to be either "both" or "glass", instead simply saying "yes"
What is a device that separates the light from stars and other objects according to wavelength in order to produce a spectrum?
spectrograph
Why is a spectrum of colors not obtained when light passes through a glass slab?
The light has to pass through in a way that the colors are separated and refracted, but if they pass through glass and are not refracted in a certain way they will not separate the spectrum
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 does the glass bead do on a light bulb?
it separates the filament and supports so they won't touch
What separates light into its component colors?
A triangular prism separates the white light into the spectrum (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet). There is also ultra violet and infra-red but these cannot be seen.
