Isaac Newton discovered that white light is made up of seven different colors when he passed sunlight through a glass prism.
It is the refraction of white light being shone through a glass prism, or a raindrop, that separates the white light into the colours of the rainbow.
Use a prism.
white light is made up of all the colours so that means white light can absorb all the colours
The prime colours of light are green, red and blue. Any other colour is a result of a mixture of these colours. The prime colours of light are different to the prime colours in art, so don't get confused!

White light separates into seven colours
Sir Isaac Newton discovered that white light was made of seven different colors in the 17th century. He was able to prove that when some of the white light from the sun passes through a prism shaped piece of glass, the light scatters into a spectrum, which is a spectrum of what we know as the rainbow.
Because the light we see is the seven colours and when we put it through a prism it splits up (or refracts) and makes it easier to see the colours

When white light shines on the CD, the light is separated into seven colours, so different colours appear on the CD.
