Why does light split up into different colours when it passes through a trinagluar prism?

it is a rainbow.


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.


How do colored filters absorb and transmit different colors of light?

A filter absorbs some colours of white light and lets other colours through to create coloured light


Is incident management a widely available course?

Yes, incident management is a widely available course, there are many different ways to get it, weather it be online, or through a company, it is easily available.


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).


If light traveled at the same speed in raindrops as it does in air could rainbows exist?

No as it is the light refracting (slowing down) through the raindrops. The different colours in the white light travel at different speeds through the raindrop, which causes them to split up into the different colours of the rainbow. Obviously if the light didn't slow down it would continue as white light.

Is respect natural or learned?

Respect can be both natural and learned. The basic concept of treating others with respect is often inherent in human nature. However, the expression and understanding of respect can be learned through socialization, education, and cultural influences. People can learn to respect others, their values, and their boundaries through exposure to different perspectives and through the teachings of their communities and families.


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.


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.


What is happens when white passing 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.


What different types of colours is granite?

The stone known as granite comes in different colours depending on where it is quarried and the exact chemicals in the earth where it was formed. It is usually a mix of colours in a speckled fine crystalline pattern. The colours can range from almost completely black, through browns and greys to cream. Reds, blues and greens are also possible.
