When light is spilt up into the colors of the rainbow its called?

refraction, do this by shining white light (all the colours) through a prism which then splits the wave lengths into sperate paths showing all the colours of white light. So white light has a specific frequency, shine it through a prism and you split the frequency up into smaller bits hence the colours of light.

When light is refracted through a prism different colours emerge. Where do the different colours come from?

Is there a theoretical reasoning to why the sky is blue?

Yes. The light from the Sun is actually white. As you probably know, white light can be spilt into 7 different colours. The atmosphere absorbs the blue light (from the ligh spectrum) and immediately re emits it at the same frequency and wavelength (same colour). So blue is scattered. This theory is called Rayleigh's Scattering.


Is light white?

Light appears white, however it is made up of different colours, which when put together make white light. These colours can be seen if you direct light through a prism. At the right angle the light is split up into the colours (rainbow).
