What explains why a prism separate white light into the colors of the rainbow?

Different colours travel at different velocity in a glass medium. Refractive index is defined as the ratio of the velocity of light in free space to that in medium. So refractive index becomes different for different colours. Now by Snell's law the refractive index is inversely proportional to the angle of refraction. Hence different colours get deviated at different angle of refraction. So the splitting of composite white light into its constituent colours has become possible. If these again fall at a parallel surface as in the case of a glass slab the colours split would get combined back and emerge as white light. But we have prism where the two refracting surfaces are at inclined and further splitting takes place and hence dispersion.


Any two colours that produce white light when they are mixed are said to be what?

What are the 7 colours of the rainbow?

The seven colours of the rainbow are:RedOrangeYellowGreenBlueIndigoVioletOne way to remember the list is by using the words ROY& VIB, which are the initial letters of the list, starting from the two ends, and then meeting at green, being the colour between blue & yellow.Another way to remember is that there are two invisible colours after the ends of the visible scale, Infra Red and Ultra Violet. Starting from these two ends, you may be able to visualize and then deduce the chain of colours in the sequence required to meet up in the middle!


How can two things of same material have different colours?

If you wanted to get different colors from exactly the same material, you could use it in different concentrations. For example, human skin is colored by just one pigment, which is melanin, yet it produces a wide range of colors (combined with the background pinkish white of skin and the circulatory system).


How do you find the average velocity if there are two different speeds?

What flags were carried by American and British troops in the American Revolution?

http://www.americanrevolution.com/Flags.htm British units would carry two colours. The King's Colour and the Regimental Colour. The King's Colour is the current British flag with one exception. North Ireland's red cross is not present on the colours of the 1770s. The Regimental Colours would be the colour of the regiment's facings with the regimental crest in the middle. Americans would have had an assortment of colours due to the lack of a defined national flag. Many towns and regions had their own flags and symbols. Some famous ones are the Pine Tree Flag and the Gadsden flag.
