How many times is white light refracted when passed through a prism?
Two times. One when the light beam crosses the air-prism interface and enters the prism and a second time when the beam crosses the prism-air interface on its way out of the prism.
How do you separate the rays in a light beam to make a rainbow?
prism
What is a prism and what does it do to a white light?
They separate light into the light spectrum. If a beam of light shines through a prism, a rainbow of color will show out through the opposite side.
What could you do to make the beam of light from the laser refract less as exits the prism?
I.ncrease the wavelength of the light
What piece of equipment do we use to split light?
A clear glass prism will split a white light beam into rainbow colours.
How does a prism reflects colors?
Because of the refraction of the room and the light

What happens if you shine a beam of light into a triangular prism?
the light will reflect and will split in 7 colors.
Could a scientist use a prism to separate light into the colors of the spectrum?
Yes, anyone can use a prism to separate light into the colors of the spectrum. It is, in fact, fairly simple to do. You simply place the prism into a beam of light and orient it so that the light beam enters on face at an angle, travels through the prism approximately parallel to a second face, and exits the third face at an angle similar to its angle of entry. The light beam will now be deflected by a total angle which depends on the refractive index of the material from which the prism is made.

How do you see a spectrum?
Project a beam of white [complete] light through a prism.

How do you obtain a spectrum by using a beam of energy waves?
In light you obtain a spectrum by passing the beam of white light through an object (a prism) which breaks the 'beam' up into it's constituent colours.
What happens to a beam of white light when it passes through a glass prism?
it creates a rainbow
