It doesn't. What happens is that the colors that are already in it are separated by the prism. It's basically because short waves (blue) are refracted more than long waves (red).

What is the color of opaque and transparent?

"Opaque" and "transparent" refer to the amount of light that passes through the colour, not the colour itself. "Opaque" is a term used to describe any solid colour that light does not pass through. If you put an opaque colour it over another colour you will not see the colour below through it. "Transparent" is a term used to describe any colour that light passes through in any of many varying degrees. If you paint a transparent colour over another colour, you will be able, to some degree, to see the colour(s) and the ground (paper, canvas, whatever you are painting on) through the top coat.

What is it called when light bends as it passes through a material?

The bending of light as it passes through a material is called refraction. This occurs due to a change in speed of light as it moves from one medium to another, causing it to change direction.


How does the frequency of light change as it passes through different mediums?

The frequency of light remains constant as it passes through different mediums. However, the speed and wavelength of light may change, leading to effects like refraction and dispersion.


What colour will you see shone a red light through a blue filter?

When shining a red light through a blue filter, the light that passes through will appear black. This is because the blue filter only allows blue light to pass through, while blocking red light.


What is the series of colour bands that are formed after light passes through a prism called?

The series of color bands formed after light passes through a prism is called a spectrum. This spectrum is created due to the dispersion of light into its component colors based on their wavelengths.


Do windows refract light?

Yes, windows can refract light. When light passes through a window, the change in speed and direction of the light can cause it to bend or refract. This is why you might see rainbows or colors appear when light passes through a window.


The colour least deviated when he light passes through the prism?

Out of the visible colors, red. The lower the wavelength the less it is dispersed.


Speed of light will be minimum when it passes through?

The speed of light is constant and does not change based on the material it passes through. However, when light enters a medium such as glass or water, its speed decreases due to interactions with the atoms in the material.
