Do all colors refract at the same angle when entering a medium?
No, the fact of the rainbow demonstrates that the different wavelengths refract at different angles. If they didn't then the rainbow would be all one colour.
What separates white light into it various colors?
White light appears white because it is a conglomeration of all the different wavelengths of light. A prism will separate the different wavelengths because they refract (or bend) at different angles through the prism.
Why does a prism break down white light into all the rainbow colors?
Light refracts(bends) when it passes through to a different medium at an angle. White light is a mix of all the colours of the rainbow, and each colour has it's own refractive index, which means it bends to a greater or lesser degree compared to any other colour. Refracting white light refracts all the colours, but they all bend to different degrees, so they split up.
What is the difference between red green and blue light?
they are all different colours
Does the frequency of light change when it is reflected?
No. Otherwise, we would have seen new colours when light is reflected, since all the colours have different frequencies.
Why do colors combined make white?
That is not true. If you are talking about all the colours of light in the spectrum coming from white light that is true. When white light passes through a glass prism, it causes the light to split into different colours because of the different angles at which they refract.

When light is refracted through a prism different colours emerge. Where do the different colours come from?
Most light is a mixture of colors of the spectrum.* White light is composed of all colors. The different wavelengths of light are refracted at different angles, which separates them out into the constituent colors of the original light source. *Laser light is monochromatic.
Are all hedgehogs different colours?
no
What is a triangle with all angles in different size?
A scalene triangle has all sides and angles in different sizes.
What has No equal angles or sides?
There is no specific name for a polygon in which all the angles are different or where the sides are all different.
How are acute angles obtuse angles and right angles alike?
They are alike in that they are all triangles when you close them. They are different because they are all different degree amounts.
What color is Europe on the map?
Europe is usually shown with all of its countries, and they would all be different colours. On maps that don't show countries, just continents, Europe can be different colours.Europe is usually shown with all of its countries, and they would all be different colours.

What is a special triangle with all sides and a different size and all angles a different size is a?
A scalene triangle has different sized sides and angles.
Are the angles of a pentagon all the same?
No there are different angle such as right angles, obtuse angles, and acute angles.
Explain why all colours refract at different angles?
When a beam of light crosses the boundary between a vacuum and another medium, or between two different media, the wavelength of the light changes, but the frequency remains constant. If the beam of light is not orthogonal (or rather normal) to the boundary, the change in wavelength results in a change in the direction of the beam. This change of direction is known as refraction. Which basically means each color is on a Different "wavelength" which causes it to go in a slightly different angel after it hits a refraction-able object
