No, the red absorbs all the colors in the light exceptred.

What you observe if light from argon gas were passed through a prism?
a continuous spectrum
Which type of spectrum is produced when white light from the Sun passes through a prism?
The colors you see in a rainbow Continuous spectrum :)
When sunlight passes through a prism the different wavelengths separate into an what of colors?
A spectrum. The rainbow is an example of refracted light.
What is the difference between a continuous spectrum an a line spectrum?
Dispersion, the separation of visible light into a spectrum, may be accomplished by means of a prism or a diffraction grating. Each different wavelength or frequency of visible light corresponds to a different color, so that the spectrum appears as a band of colors ranging from violet at the short-wavelength (high-frequency) end of the spectrum through indigo, blue, green, yellow, and orange, to red at the long-wavelength (low-frequency) end of the spectrum. In addition to visible light, other types of electromagnetic radiation may be spread into a spectrum according to frequency or wavelength. The spectrum formed from white light contains all colors, or frequencies, and is known as a continuous spectrum. Continuous spectra are produced by all incandescent solids and liquids and by gases under high pressure. A gas under low pressure does not produce a continuous spectrum but instead produces a line spectrum, i.e., one composed of individual lines at specific frequencies characteristic of the gas, rather than a continuous band of all frequencies. If the gas is made incandescent by heat or an electric discharge, the resulting spectrum is a bright-line, or emission, spectrum, consisting of a series of bright lines against a dark background. A dark-line, or absorption, spectrum is the reverse of a bright-line spectrum; it is produced when white light containing all frequencies passes through a gas not hot enough to be incandescent. It consists of a series of dark lines superimposed on a continuous spectrum, each line corresponding to a frequency where a bright line would appear if the gas were incandescent. The Fraunhofer lines appearing in the spectrum of the sun are an example of a dark-line spectrum; they are caused by the absorption of certain frequencies of light by the cooler, outer layers of the solar atmosphere. Line spectra of either type are useful in chemical analysis, since they reveal the presence of particular elements. The instrument used for studying line spectra is the spectroscope.
What is produced when light from a hot solid passes through a cooler gas?
An almost continuous spectrum of light, with a gap at a discrete wavelength, depending on the energy levels of the atoms on the gas
What is an atoms spectrum?
when a beam of white light is passed through the vapours or a gas, the element absorbs certain wavelengths, while the rest of wavelengths are passed through it. The spectrum of this radiation is called atomic absorption spectrum.The missing wavelengths appear as dark lines in the spectrum.
Is the spectrum for the incandescent light a continuous spectrum or a line spectrum?
incandescent bulb is equivalent to white light, i.e it has all the seven wavelengths of light. therefore when passed through a prism it is disperses into all the seven wavelengths WITHOUT ANY SPACES OR BOUNDARIES and are obtained on the screen as a CONTINUOUS SPECTRUM.
Why is a rainbow considered to be an example of a continuous spectrum?
Continous spectra is the rainbow effect that you see when white light passes through a prism. It includes all of the visible light wavelengths, from about 380 nm to 780 or so.
What is a continues spectrum?
A continuous spectrum shows all of the colors produced when white light passes through a prism.
When sunlight passes through a prism the different wavelengths separate into an of colors?
It's called a spectrum.

Can you split white light by passing through it through a prison?
You can split white light into a spectrum of its component wavelengths by passing it through a prism, not a prison.
What type of spectrum is produced when the light emitted directly from a hot dense object passes through a prism?
Its called atomic spectrum
What is a natural phenomenon that exhibits a continuous spectrum?
A continuous spectrum is produced when white light passes through a prism or when hot gas is heated to incandescence. In either case the light is separated into its component colors based on their different wavelengths. All the colors of the visible spectrum from red to violet are present in the resulting continuous spectrum.When white light passes through a prism the individual wavelengths of light are bent at different angles separating the light into a spectrum. This is known as dispersion. The prism separates the wavelengths of light into visible colors with the shortest wavelength being the color red and the longest wavelength being the color violet.When hot gas is heated to incandescence the gas molecules become excited and emit light. The light produced is a continuous spectrum because all the wavelengths of visible light are present. The intensity of the emitted light varies with the wavelength with the shortest wavelength having the greatest intensity and the longest wavelength having the least intensity.

Can plants really go through photosynthesis as long as the spectrum part of the artificial light has wavelengths that the chlorophyll can grab?
yes
