What spreads light into its own indiviual colors?
A prism spreads light into different colors (a rainbow). A prism is made out of mainly glass or plastic. Metallic Thunder
Which colour of White light is scattered the least and why?
White light is light that has not been scattered. Shine a beam of white light through a prism, and the light is separated into 'rainbow' colours. Sunlight shining through raindrops is the cause of a rainbow appearing in the sky.
What is a prism and what does it do to a white light?
They separate light into the light spectrum. If a beam of light shines through a prism, a rainbow of color will show out through the opposite side.
Is light bending going through a prism an example of a reflection?
Light bending as it passes through a prism is an example of refraction, not reflection.
Light is scattered as it passes through a?
Light is scattered as it passes through a prism.
Shining light through a prism is one way of showing?
a rainbow?
When a light passes through a prism it spreads into a spectrum of colours what is spreading effect called?
dispersion
How can you filter light to create different colors?
Shining a white light through a glass prism will split the light into rainbow colours.

Blue red and green light are all present in what color of light?
Blue, red, and green light are all present in white light. One can observe this by shining a white light through a prism.
When two prisms made of same material is placed side by side in same position and light is allowed to pass then what happens?
When white light passes through a prism it spreads to form a rainbow. If that "rainbow" light is then passed through a second prism it cannot recombine to reform white light.NO
How can you make a spectrum?
you get a prism glass block and a thin ray of light shining onto the prism and rotate the prism till you see the spectrum

What do rainbows consist of?
Rainbows are sunlight that is shining through raindrops and the light is separated into the colours of the spectrum red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Just like if you shine light through a prism.
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.
Why are color colors?
Colors are colors because it makes the world more interesting. I'm kidding when you have a prism, and you shine a light through it (cristal or glass prism) it makes a rainbow. How do rainbows form in the sky? Rainbows form because the light is shining through the water in a different place where it is raining.
What spreads out when light passes through it?
The spectrum of the light source is spread out by a prism. The wedge shaped glass slows down the light beams and they split into their respective colors. This can be seen in rainbows and other glass and water features.
