Water vapor acts like a prism and can break up white light into different colors to cause a rainbow to appear?
Yes, water vapor can act like a prism. A rainbow is caused by raindrops, not by vapor. When light enters a raindrop at an angle to its surface, different colors refract at different angles as in a prism. A reflection occurs at the far side of the drop, and more refraction occurs as the light exits the drop, to be seen by your eye. Multiple reflections inside the drop are the cause of multiple ("double", even "triple") rainbows.
How does a stars temperature affect its appearance?
Basically the more intense the heat the star is giving off the brighter the star will appear to be. For example, let's say there is a red colored star and a white colored star in the vicinity of the planet you're currently on to observe them. The red colored star is giving off light at the visible spectrum that reveals red most prominently. I'm not 100% sure how the colors line up but I do know that red is a lower frequency wavelength of light then pure white. This means that the higher the temperature of the star the brighter light it will give off, by bright of course I mean the higher frequency colors slowly approaching pure white light.

Clouds form because water vapor in the air?
Clouds are white because light from the Sun is white. As light passes through a cloud, it interacts with the water droplets, which are much bigger than the atmospheric particles that exist in the sky. When sunlight reaches an atmospheric particle in the sky, blue light is scattered away more strongly than other colors, giving the impression that the sky is blue. But in a cloud, sunlight is scattered by much larger water droplets. These scatter all colors almost equally meaning that the sunlight continues to remain white and so making the clouds appear white against the background of the blue sky.
What is the color of cumulus clouds?
Clouds are merely water particles suspended in the atmosphere. Their color is heavily dependent on the color of light that enters them. Because the light that comes from the sun is perceived as white, clouds appear white for most of the day. Thunderstorms tend to be fairly large, thus their base appears dark because much of the light from the sun has already been blocked. Becasuse the atmosphere bends the light from the sun in the morning and evening, clouds can appear red or orange during a sunrise or sunset.
What does a prism do to white light to break it up into the colors of the rainbow?
farts and ladybugs
What tools can be used to break up white light?
Breaking of white lights means dispersion of light in which the white light or the visible light splits into 7 colors. Many tools may be used to break up the white light but among them one of them is Prism. It can break up the white lights into 7 colors. Keep a white paper in front of the prism and the prism in the sun due to which the sunlight coming from the sun passes through the prism and the white breaks up into 7 colors due to change in velocity of the different invisible lights inside the white or the visible light. Other tools like plastic scale or ruler also can be used to break up the white light. Thank you
The colors of white light make up a?
The colours of white light are all of the colors that make up a rainbow. White light is actually a mixture of all colors.
What tool is most likely to be used by scientist to separate a beam of white light into different colors?
A Prism can be used to break light up into its constituent spectral colors.
What happens to a ray of light as it passes through a prism if it is single colour?
That depends on the color. Some colors will break up into other colors. Some colors will not break up, and the ay of light will remain the same color.
What colors of light are reflected by a white object?
A white object reflects all the colors making up white light. Therefore the reflected color will still be white.
What All of the visible color light waves together result in light?
trueWhite light is made up of all the colors of the visible spectrum. If we drop back to the idea of the colors of the rainbow, the red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet, we'll have the colors. The colors making up white light are all the colors from red to violet. Said another way, all the colors of light from the infrared to the ultraviolet make up white light.White light is made up of every other color of light. Blue, red, yellow, orange, everything. When these colors of light are combined, they form white lightthe apex answer is: white light....... :0).
What colors mixed up to white?
Paint: You cannot mix colors to make white because white is the lack of color. Light: You must mix all of the colors of the spectrum in order to create a white light.
How does a prism reflect light?
It splits white light up into the colors of the visible spectrum, but if the colors go through another prism, they turn into white light again.
What is white made of?
Well... white light is made up of all colors.
The colors that make up white light are called what?
cb
What color is obtained when the primary colors of light are mixed and why?
You would get white, because it is like the light beams are going through a crystal. The idea encapsulated here is that white light, when sent through a prism, is broken up into its constituent colors. When you reverse the process and add together the light that is broken up by a prism, the result is white light. ___________________________________________ When the primary colors of light are mixed, the outcome is white light. I don't know exactly why this happens, but I'm guessing this: You know how white light is really composed of all the colors of the rainbow? When you mix all the primary colors of the rainbow together, you get white light.
