How do we see different colors in a prism when it reflects?
this is called refraction. light is made up of seven different colours as seen in a rainbow. a glass prism breaks the light up into its base colours. this is the same principle a rainbow is made by only rainbow uses watere droplets to refract the light.
Why does light split up into different colours when it passes through a trinagluar prism?
it is a rainbow.
What is white light in a rainbow?
White light is formed by the joining of all the colours in the Rainbow i.e. it is a mix of all the 7 colours in the spectrum.
Why do you see rainbow colours when you look through a plastic transparent ruler?
Because it splits the light ray into the different coloured rays that make up a regular visible light ray all the colours of the rainbow make the light colour that we see when they are mixed togethet
A prism breaks white light into what?
A dispersive prism can break light into its spectral colours, or the colours of the rainbow
What happens when light is shone at a prism?
It splits into the colours that make it up, so white light makes a rainbow, and different colours produce different results.

Why are rainbows colorful?
light from the sun is know as 'white light'. it is made up of all of the colours seen in the rainbow. when it rains, the light is split up into these different colours in the same way it would if you passed light through a glass prism. Therefore light splits up into its individual colours when it rains, and this is what a rainbow is.
How can you filter light to create different colors?
Shining a white light through a glass prism will split the light into rainbow colours.

Is light white?
Light appears white, however it is made up of different colours, which when put together make white light. These colours can be seen if you direct light through a prism. At the right angle the light is split up into the colours (rainbow).
How did sir Isaac newton find out about white light?
ThaT it was made up of lots of different colours of light like a rainbow. He put White light through a prism and a rainbow came out on the other side

What light contains all the colors of the rainbow?
It's "white light". When all colours of the rainbow are combined in their purest form (light), they create white light. All colours of the rainbow can be derived from the colours red, green and blue. These 3 colours are known as the RGB colour model (Red, Green, Blue). When these three colours are combined in their purest form, they also form white light
