Why do colors fade in the sun?
The chemicals that make up the colors are broken down by ultraviolet light that is in sunshine.
What are the original clolurs in white light?
>Do you mean "what are the original Colors..."? <P>White light is a combination of all the colors in the spectrum. That's why, when it is shined through glass, you see a rainbow. The glass disperses the white light back into the individual colors. Black light is the absence of color. <P>Incidentally, while white Light is the combination of all colors, Black Pigment is the combination of all colors. White pigment is the absence of color.</P> all of the clolours of light
Why do you see the colors of the rainbow when sunlight passes through a raindrop?
You don't. You see it when sunlight traveling away from you enters a raindrop, bounces offthe far inside of it, and comes back out traveling toward you.The reason is that different wavelengths of light bend through very slightly different angleswhen they enter or leave the raindrop.So, if light with a mixture of different wavelengths goes in, then the different wavelengthswill come out in slightly different directions, and you'll see them spread out.
How are the best rainbows formed?
I believe you asking if you are right with your facts. Rainbows happen when sunlight and rain combine in a very specific way. The beams of sunlight separate into the colors we see in the rainbow as they enter a raindrop. Sunlight is actually made up of different colors that we don't usually see. When a beam of sunlight comes down to Earth, the light is white. Hope this does help.
Why does the sun reflect so many different colors?
Color is a function of electromagnetic frequency. The Sun generates all kinds of EM, including the visible light, the ultraviolet and infrared, radio wave, microwaves, x-rays and gamma rays. most of these are stopped by our atmosphere, but light and the near IR and UV come through. These can be separated by diffraction (as in a glass prism or a raindrop) and perceived as different colors. There are UV and IR "colors" also, but our eyes don't pick them out.
What determines the colors seen when light exits a raindrop?
White light is a mix of different colors. Different colors will be refracted at different angles, so they will exit a raindrop in different places.
Does a single raindrop illuminated by sunlight disperse a spectrum of colors?
Yes. Sunlight is made up of a spectrum of colors all focused into one beam (as it were) of white light. Each of the different colors has a different wavelength and therefore a different velocity (as frequency = wavelength * velocity, and frequency is constant). So when sunlight passes through a medium such as a raindrop, it is split up into the different colors that comprise the white light because according to v(outside the medium)*sin(theta inside medium) = v(inside the medium)*sin(theta outside the medium) each color will leave the raindrop at a different angle because each has a different velocity. This is why rainbows are formed.
Byzantine art is notable for its?
Early use of bright colors and illuminated manuscripts (apex)
Why when a white light hits a raindrop does it split into seven colors of the rainbow?
A beam of light is made up of all seven colors, the color we see on an object is the color the object reflected. A raindrop acts as a prism. When the white light enters the prism, all the colors are reflected.
What is the name of the phenomenom of when a diamond reflects various colors?
its called dispersion, its when white light enters an object and disperses into different colors
What does dispersed mean in science meaning?
Dispersion is the separation of white or compound light into its respective colors, as in the formation of a spectrum by a prism.This occurs in rainbows when the light from the sun goes into the raindrop, and the light refracts through it. It then reflects again, then disperses into a specific area of colour, along with all the other raindrops to create a nice rainbow.
Does a viewer see a single color or a spectrum of colors coming from a single faraway raindrop?
Although a wide spectrum of colors are being refracted from a single raindrop, and observer is in a position to see only a single color from any one drop.
What are names of some fairys?
They like to have names combined of colors and a object such as a pen, raindrop or bell. for example.RedpenSilvermistPurple RaindropBluebellTinkerbell
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.

Why does rainbow have different color?
because there are only those colors in the visible light spectrum. When you see colors on the table from the window, it's because there is water on the window and it disperses the light which separates the white light and turns it into colors. i hope this helps you!
