White light is made up of waves having different?
frequencies and 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.
A beam of light is made from how many lights?
the question is phrased poorly, but i think the answer is seven, as in white light is split into seven different wavelengths when passed through a prism.
How is light changed as it passes through a prism?
White light is made up of different wavelengths which we see as colour. The shorter the wavelengths the higher the frequency, and the slower it travels through certain medium. The different wavelengths travel at the same velocity through air -making light white- but when they reach a different medium the velocity of each medium differs ad this causes them to separate into different colours.
Why is white light made up of different colors?
The brain does not see the colors if they are mixed up in equal amounts, it just sees white. Einstein wrote a paper about the nature of light in the early 1900's. He proposed that light isn't what it seems and is made of a quanta which are small packets of light. White light is simply a number of separate photons (beams of light) of different wavelengths traveling as a packet.

Why do different shaded rays come of the sun?
ALL visible light is made up of a superposition of different wavelengths. The light from the sun is no different.
What causes colour?
Light is made up of radiation of different wavelengths/frequencies; our eyes can perceive some of these differences in wavelengths/frequencies.Light is made up of radiation of different wavelengths/frequencies; our eyes can perceive some of these differences in wavelengths/frequencies.Light is made up of radiation of different wavelengths/frequencies; our eyes can perceive some of these differences in wavelengths/frequencies.Light is made up of radiation of different wavelengths/frequencies; our eyes can perceive some of these differences in wavelengths/frequencies.
How is a laser light different from a regular light?
laser light has a constant wavelength whereas regular light is made up of many wavelengths

Why visible lights have different colors?
All kinds of waves, including light, have different possible wavelengths and frequencies. What particular wavelength a light wave might have depends on how it was made. Now if two light rays with different wavelengths enter your eye can you tell there were two different wavelengths? The answer is yes, and the way you tell is that your brain reacts differently to the two waves. The way it reacts differently is by giving the two waves "color". So its not really the waves that have different colors its the way your brain interprets the different wavelengths.
How do they know what planets are made of?
Light Spectrum Analysis. Different elements reflect different wavelengths of light. Simply put if you look at th different colors of light that is reflected from something you can determine the basic elements it is composed of.
Splitting of white light is due to?
Light has a constant speed in a vacuum, however when it passes through a different medium (such as air, water etc) it is slowed down as a result of its interaction with matter. If the light enters a different medium on an angle then it bends. The degree to which light is slowed down depends on the wavelength of the light. White light is made of light from lots of different wavelengths (eg blue light, red light, green light). The different wavelengths (different colours) are slowed down different amounts so bend more/less causing the light to spread out.
Where do the prism come from?
Light (or sunlight) is made up of all the wavelengths of light combined. If you mix all the colours of the rainbow together you get white. A prism just spreads out the individual wavelengths to illustrate the different colours. Different colours of light are just different mixtures of these.

What light color do you add to red light to get black light?
The color of light is made by adding all of the colors of parts of light, called wavelengths, together. Color is made by removing certain wavelengths of the light, and white is made by adding them all together. Black is the absence of light, so instead of adding a color of light to red, you will subtract the red light and leave no light.
Why red apple red?
We see colour because light is made up different wavelengths. Objects absorb certain wavelengths of light while reflecting others. An apple appears to be red because it reflects the red wavelength while absorbing all the other colours.
