Why do different objects appear to the naked human eye in different colors under white light or normal light condition?
Each material reflect different the light waves.
Why do you see a rainbow when white light is sent through a prism?
because it refracts in different ways and waves
Why light get scatter when passed through a prism?
White light contains all the colors of a rainbow in the form of waves which have different wavelengths. So when light is passed through a prism, the waves appears to be scattered because some waves have less refraction and some waves have more refraction due to their wavelengths.
Is a rainbow a transverse or compression wave?
A rainbow is made of different wavelengths (different colors) of light waves, and light waves are usually considered transverse waves.
How do white light waves act when they enter a prism?
As we know there are seven color in a light. It travels in a same velocity when it passes through air, but when it passes through prism different color travels with different velocity, as a result the emergent light is seen in seven color. Ther are; voilent,indigo,blue,green,yellow,red,orange.....

How are x-rays and earthquake waves similar?
They are both transverse waves, albeit having different wavelength and frequency. I think that velocity of the waves will also be different as x-rays travel at the speed of light.
How are ultraviolet waves different from light waves?
Ultraviolet waves are smaller than light waves.
Are there waves of light and sound?
Yes. Sound waves have different frequencies which cause them to be louder/softer/higher/lower.Light waves have different frequencies too. The shorter the distance between the wavelenghts the darker the color. White light (the normal light the sun gives) is all of the colors together

Which waves can be separated into different wavelengths of colored light?
visible light waves
Do colour in visible white light have different wave lenghts and frequencies and how different are they?
yes- red has the longest waves while violet has the shortest.

What is a light wave?
Visible light waves are the only electromagnetic waves we can see. We see these waves as the colors of the rainbow. Each color has a different wavelength. Red has the longest wavelength and violet has the shortest wavelength. When all the waves are seen together, they make white light.
How are light waves different than other waves?
Light waves are waves but behave like a particle. They are also mass less.
