The brain does not see the colors if they are mixed up in equal amounts, it just sees white.
Einstein wrote a paper about the nature of light in the early 1900's. He proposed that light isn't what it seems and is made of a quanta which are small packets of light. White light is simply a number of separate photons (beams of light) of different wavelengths traveling as a packet.
What else can I help you with?
Is light made out of colours?
Light is made up of different colors that are a part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Different colors have different wavelengths, and when white light is separated, it can be seen as a spectrum of colors ranging from red to violet.
A is an object that separates visible light into the many different colors the light is made up of?
i think its a prism
Who said that white light is made up of different colors?
Newton demonstrated this with his prism.
What is a rainbow made out of?
Its made when the suns light reflects the particles in rain the light from the sun is white light. white light is made up of many colors. when the light hits a raindrop the colors refract and reflect and are shown as the colors of the specrum. - animalgirl11
Is light made of all different colors?
Yes, light it is made up of all of the colours of the rainbow: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet. Light is made up of different wave lenghts that can be separated through raindrops and the like, which is what creates a rainbow.
Who found out that light is made up of different wavelengths?
Isaac Newton was the scientist who discovered that light is made up of different wavelengths when he conducted experiments with prisms. He found that white light could be separated into a spectrum of colors.
How can you show that visible light is made up of many different wavelength?
A prism will separate visible light into its component colors.
What did Newton see when he passed white light through a prism?
When Newton passed white light through a prism, he observed the light being separated into a spectrum of colors. This demonstrated that white light is made up of a mixture of different colors with different wavelengths.
Why is white light made of many colours?
White light is made up of many colors because it is a combination of different wavelengths of light. When white light passes through a prism, the different wavelengths are refracted at different angles, separating the colors and creating a spectrum. Each color corresponds to a different wavelength within the visible light spectrum.
Why is light broken into different colors when it passes through a prism?
Refraction. White light is a mix of colors in the first place; these colors have different indices of refraction. That is, when moving from air to glass, as in a prism, they will bend at slightly different angles.
How do prisms work?
Refraction is when light bends through an object. White light is made up of all the colors of the spectrum. Different colors have different wavelengths, therefore they bend at different angles. So when white light passes through a prism the different colors bend at different angles, so they separate to produce the rainbow of light that we see.
How is light made up of seven colours?
Light appears as white to our eyes, but it is actually made up of a spectrum of colors. This is due to the phenomenon of refraction where light waves of different frequencies separate into different colors when passing through a prism. Each color corresponds to a different wavelength or frequency of light, resulting in the seven colors of the visible spectrum: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
