If you shine white light through a prism, you always get the same result -
a spectrum.
However, if the environment is brightly lit, you may not see the spectrum
as it will be too faint compared to the brightly lit background.

Why we don't get a spectrum through prism in bright light?
If the enviorment is brightly lit, you may not see the spectrum as it will be too faint compared to the brightly lit background.
Which type of spectrum is produced when light from the sun passes through a prism?
It is the spectrum of visible light, which has the colors of the rainbow.

red light is monochromatic light and if it shines on a prism its still red light pass through the prism, not 'rainbow' color.
What spectrum does white light form?
when dispersed through a prism: Visible spectrum of light (rainbow) part of (very small fraction) electromagnets spectrum
How can a spectrum be recombined to form white light?
you get your spectrum by placing a prism in front of a single ray of white light, then by putting another prism opposite it the light will then go through that prism and in the end you will end up back with your single ray of light that you started with.
How does light separate into the colors of the visible spectrum?
When light goes through a prism, it separates into a rainbow.
What is the light produce a spectrum as it passes through the prism what is the process called?
Refraction
Howis light separated into spectrum?
This is normally done by passing it through a prism.
How do you see a spectrum?
Project a beam of white [complete] light through a prism.
