Who discovered white light consists of 7 colours?
Newton.
Why white light can not be used in interference?
White light consists of a mixture of many different colors. Each color will have different interference patterns, making observation difficult.
What does passing light through a prism do to it?
White light consists of all the colours of the rainbow. When white light passes through a glass prism which is clear the light is broken down into the seven colours of the rainbow, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.
What does a glass prism separate white light into?
The acronym is ROY G BIV or White light is separated into its component colours: RED ORANGE YELLOW GREEN BLUE INDIGO VIOLETWhite light is polychromatic (consists of many colors). The prism splits/disperses the white light into its components because the glass has a different refractive index for each color.
What causes an object to appear green?
The answer to this is due to Chlorophyll and the electromagnetic spectrum of colour.
Who discovered white light consists of 7 colours?
Newton.
How does an emission spectrum of a gas in a discharge tube differ from a white light spectrum?
It differs by that white light spectrum is continuous and consists of light of all wavelengths. Emission spectrum is not continuous. It consists of bright lines at specific wavelengths, with complete darkness between them.
What does the spectrum consists of?
a band of colors formed when white light passes through a prism.
What light contains seven colors'?
White light consists of red orange yellow green blue indigo and violet.
Why white light can not be used in interference?

What is whitelight?
White Light Is a mixture of colorss that are called a spectrum or rainbow, consists of 7 colours
Is white light really white in color?
ans it really consists of all the colours of the rainbow (and some more). That's what a rainbow is: white light being split up as it travels through water in the air.

What color of light should a non powered canoe or kayak display in times of reduced visibility or at night?
Navigation lights are required on all water craft at night. The normal light configuration consists of a red and green lamp in front and a white lam at the rear. The red light is on the port (left) and the green on the starboard (right) side of the craft.
What does a glass prism separate white light into?
The acronym is ROY G BIV or White light is separated into its component colours: RED ORANGE YELLOW GREEN BLUE INDIGO VIOLETWhite light is polychromatic (consists of many colors). The prism splits/disperses the white light into its components because the glass has a different refractive index for each color.
How can you tell what colors make up white light?
The classical experiment consists in directing sunlight through a glass prism onto a screen. Light in: invisible. Light out (and displayed on screen): full spectrum of visible colors.
What causes an object to appear green?
The answer to this is due to Chlorophyll and the electromagnetic spectrum of colour.
