Violet light does not split into different colors when it passes through a prism.

If it goes in violet, it comes out violet.

White light is a combination of light of many colors. If you pass white light through

a prism, a spread of different colors will come out of the prism, because each color

bends through a slightly different angle on its way through the prism.

The spectral lines are formed because when the light passes through tough medium it passes through the medium but the white light gets disintegrated into seven colors . The band includes the colors violet, indigo, blue, green ,yellow orange , red.


What is the relationship between the color of light and its wavelength?

Each color has a wavelength and frequency associated with it. We're familiar with the colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet. These colors range from longer wavelength (lower frequency) red up through shorter wavelength (higher frequency) violet. As one moves up through those colors from red to violet, the color is an indication to relative wavelength.

White light breaks up into different colors when it passes through a prism because of?

White light is a mixture of colored light, and that each color is refracted to a different extent. The different colors correspond to light with different wavelengths, and are refracted to different degrees. This separation of colors is known as dispersion. Which causes the seperation of white light into seven colours Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet.


Why are colors present in rainbows?

Light is naturally made up of the different colors. It is just that when we see it, it appears white because all the colors are blended together. Rainbows occur when sunlight passes through the raindrops. The white light is refracted in millions and millions of raindrops. In these white light, there are the different colors that travel at different speed. The color red refracts less because it is slower while the violet color of the rainbow refracts more because it is faster. The colours of the rainbow are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.
