Why does light look like a rainbow when it exits a prism?
Each colour component of white light has a different wavelength. Therefore meaning that each component is refracted by a slightly different amount, separating the colours and making them visible by dispersion.
How would you separated white light into it's component colours?
White light can be separated into its component colors using a prism. When white light enters a prism, it is refracted at different angles based on its wavelength, with shorter wavelengths (such as violet) being refracted more than longer wavelengths (such as red). This results in the white light being separated into its rainbow spectrum of colors.
According to physics what is the construction of rainbow?
White light is made by all the colours creating constructive interference. When light passes through water, the light is refracted but they are all refracted differently creating a spectrum of the colours making white light, a rainbow.
What is the national colour of Tonga?
The colours of the Samoan flag are blue, red and white.

What is the name of the glass that can split white light into different colour's?
The glass is called a prism. When white light enters a prism, it is refracted and separated into its component colors due to the differing wavelengths of each color of light. This effect is known as dispersion.
What 2 colors make wite?
No two colours make white and white is not a colour.
How many colours to make white colour?
White is not a colour ... it is the absence of all color. White is a mixture of all coloured light, all colours are a reflection of light. The first thing to disappear when the light goes down is colour. In total darkness there is no light to reflect.
What happens when white light is passed through a prism?
When white light is passed through a prism, it is refracted at different angles depending on the wavelength (color) of the light. This causes the white light to spread out into its component colors, creating a spectrum of colors from red to violet. This phenomenon is known as dispersion.
What is splitting of light into component colours by a prism?
The splitting of light into its component colors by a prism is known as dispersion. When white light passes through a prism, different colors of light are refracted at slightly different angles due to their different wavelengths, causing them to separate and form a spectrum of colors.
What is the colour of all colours?
When all colours are mixed they form white (this works for light; don't try it with paint).
Which is more colorful black or white?
In terms of light colour, the most colourful would be white, as it is a combination of the entire light colour spectrum. In terms of physical colour, it would be black, as it is the combination of all physical colours. In terms of them simply as colours, it would be neither as they are not considered colours, but variations of light and dark.
