What color or colors of light are transmitted by a piece of yellow glass?
Red and green light. Yellow glass transmits yellow light. Yellow light is a combination of red and green light. Therefore yellow glass transmits red and green light and absorbs blue light.
How do you split white light into different colors?
This is easy to do with a Prism, preferably a long triangular piece of glass. A glass of water can do the same thing, although not as accurate as a triangular shaped prism would.
Explain why a flat piece of glass does not bring light to a focus while a curved piece of glass can?
When light passes through a flat piece of glass, like a window, the light is refracted at both surfaces, but the exiting ray of light is parallel to the entering ray and hence the light's path is not really changed.
What do you call the three sided piece of glass that separates white light into the different colors?
A "prism". Note: Prisms actually have five sides. There is no three-sided polyhedron.
What color light is transmitted by a piece of magenta glass?
Magenta
Why are the colors of the rainbow those colors?
This is the same as if you had a light to a piece of glass..... the light is bended.
What material is use to separate the colors of spectrum?
A glass prism is the best way to see how light can be separated into the full spectrum of color. A cut crystal piece will also break the light up.

What causes light to refract when it hits a piece of glass?
the light rays hit the piece of glass and the surface of the glass causes it to refract
What is a piece of glass that disperses a beam of white light into its component colors?
That could be a prism, or a lens with a serious chromatic aberration problem.
