White light is a mixture of different colors; so there are different frequencies.

Which has a higher frequency on the electromagnetic spectrum white or black?
Since white light is a mixture of all colors, and black is the absence of light, white light would have a higher frequency.
How can you tell the difference between a laser and a beam of white light?
A beam of white light is white. A laser is not; it's monochromatic (one specific frequency of light, therefore colored and not white).
What is monochromatic light compared to white light?
Monochromatic light contains light of only one colour (or frequency), while white light contains light of different colours and frequencies.
Do light waves travel in straight paths called rays?
google it lazy bum. No, light waves are just that-- waves. The color of the wave is determined by it's frequency- normal light is white because it is low frequency. The frequency is how fast the light "waves". But a laser pointer has red light, which has a higher frequency, and therefore is only one color. Hope this helps!
What does frequency control in light?
Frequency controls the color of the light.
Which has a higher frequency on the electromagnetic spectrum white or black?
Since white light is a mixture of all colors, and black is the absence of light, white light would have a higher frequency.
Why light of some fireworks looks white?
light is frequency as our eyes detect the frequency spectrum of colors white is the brightest that we can see. Of course black is just the absence of light

How does white light splits?
splits into other coloured light beams
What is the difference between white light and the light from gaseous elements?
White light is a mixture of colours, light from gaseous elements is of one colour, sometimes of just one wavelength (frequency)
When light is spilt up into the colors of the rainbow its called?
refraction, do this by shining white light (all the colours) through a prism which then splits the wave lengths into sperate paths showing all the colours of white light. So white light has a specific frequency, shine it through a prism and you split the frequency up into smaller bits hence the colours of light.
What happen with light when rainbows get formed?
The seven colour that makes up the white light is scattered based on their frequency

How does the spectrum of white light from the sun?
White light contains all the colors. The different colors of light are at different frequencies. On the high frequency end you have violet and on the low end you have red.
White light is split up into its component colours by a prism what colour will be refracted the most?
The violet (higher frequency) light.
What is an example of frequency?
Frequency can be found in sound, light, and line current. An example of frequency is, the frequency wave of light will determine what color the light is.
