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.
What colors of light must be combined with blue light to obtain white light?
you would need yellow and red.
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 does white light get split up inside a glass triangular prism?
The thickness of the glass causes the white lights' components to bend and spread out its colors. The thicker the glass the more it bends. The red would be at the thickest and blue at the thinner part. Light actually slows down.When light passes from one medium to another it is refracted, that is bent, the amount of bending depends on the wavelength. Different colours have different wavelengths and as white light is made up of all colours each is bent by a different amount, so the light is split
Is production of rainbow light reflected or refracted?
A reflected light would be light reflected by a mirror, and the light would remain unchanged. A reflected light of daylight is when white light is split into 'rainbow' colours.

What are the colours of the rainbow collectively know as?
white light contains all of the colors of the rainbow, so if all of the rainbow's colors shown collectively at one point, the light would be white light (like the sun's light).
What color is obtained when the primary colors of light are mixed and why?
You would get white, because it is like the light beams are going through a crystal. The idea encapsulated here is that white light, when sent through a prism, is broken up into its constituent colors. When you reverse the process and add together the light that is broken up by a prism, the result is white light. ___________________________________________ When the primary colors of light are mixed, the outcome is white light. I don't know exactly why this happens, but I'm guessing this: You know how white light is really composed of all the colors of the rainbow? When you mix all the primary colors of the rainbow together, you get white light.

If you absorb all the colors what color would you get?
If an object absorbs all the colors in white light, it reflects black.
What colors make off white?
i have no idea ,but if i did i would answer it .anyways anyone know what colors make gold

What color would you get if you mixed all colors of the spectrum?
If you mix all colors of light you will get white. If you mix all colors of pigment/paint you will get black.

A reflected light would be light reflected by a mirror, and the light would remain unchanged. A reflected light of daylight is when white light is split into 'rainbow' colours.
What colour would a white surface look in red light?
A "white surface" is one that reflects all colors of light. That's why it looks white when a white light shines on it, and that's why you call it "white". If only red light shines on it, then it looks red.
Is White light a combination of red orange yellow and green?
No. White light is a mixture of all the colors in the rainbow. I would know I got a 100 in science.
