What occurs when light is dispersed?
Refraction occurs in the same 'direction' each time. The different colours are each refracted by different amounts. :)
What happens when white light is passed through a prism?
The white light gets split into its different wavelengths which we see as different colours. The different wavelengths get refracted at slightly different angles, and we see a rainbow effect.
How is the light broken into 7 colours?
when it gets refracted by a glass prism or by a small water droplet suspended in the atmosphere
Why does white light look like a rainbow when it exits a prism?
Each colour component of white light has a different wavelength. Therefore meaning that each component is refracted by a slightly different amount, separating the colours and making them visible by dispersion.
What is caused when light bends as it passes through a material?
Light does not bend as it passes through a material. It bends when it passes from one material to another. This is called refraction. Light can also be dispersed, that is separated into its different colours, if it is refracted enough.
According to physics what is the construction of rainbow?
White light is made by all the colours creating constructive interference. When light passes through water, the light is refracted but they are all refracted differently creating a spectrum of the colours making white light, a rainbow.
What makes the color of rainbows?
light refracted by raindrops appear to be different colours
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.
What occurs when light is dispersed?
Refraction occurs in the same 'direction' each time. The different colours are each refracted by different amounts. :)
How does light respond to different surrfaces?
Light responds differently to different surfaces. Depending on the surface different amounts of the light will be reflected and refracted.
Why are plants different colours?
Because all plants function differently.
Why do seeds have different colours?
Because their seed coat is differently pigmented
When white light is refracted througha prism different colours emerge where do the different colours come from?
The reflection comes through the prism and different colors are different wavelength of sunlight from violet to red in the order of violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red.
Why are peoples eyes shaped differently?
Because of all the different genes. Its like saying why are hair colours different?

Who said colours are colours?
Well, phrase it differently - Who said colours aren'tcolours?
