Are shorter wavelengths more affected by a prism or water droplets than longer wavelengths?
False. A prism separates the colors of sunlight into a spectrum because each wavelength of light has its own index of refraction, not because wavelengths are affected more or less by the prism.
What can you found when light shines through a prism?
After a rain shower you can usually see a rainbow in the sky. If you shine light through a prism you see a rainbow or more correctly the colour spectrum

What color has the highest wave length?
Here are the colors ranked in order of wavelength intensity:Visible Spectrum (What we can see)RedOrangeYellowGreenBluePurpleWe can't see infrared, which has larger (less intense) wavelengths than red, or ultra violet, which has smaller(more intense) wavelengths than purple
Does the amount of thermal energy heat produced by a colored fabric after 30 minutes of intense light relate to its position in the spectrum?
Yes, the darker the material, the more heat it absorbs. The lighter the material, the more light it reflects.

Is fiberglass grating better than metal grating?
Metal grating will generally be more durable and trouble free. I would not suggest fiberglass for a good grating material.
How does a prism allow us to see more than just white light?
I got this ! A prism allows you to see more then just white light because the sun reflects to the prism and then that light gets absorbed and reflected back into our eyes to see all the colors of the spectrum.

What are the similarities between prismatic and grating spectrum?
They'll both display a range of wavelengths/frequencies on a target, but given that diffraction gratings are more commonly used (at least in wavelength-multiplexed optic fibre systems), I'd be more interested in the differences.
Is spectrum really 7 separate colors?
yes . spectrum consists of seven colors. very rarely you get to see all the colors in a spectrum. usually all colors are not visible clearly. experiments have been given and scientists have finally come to this answer that a spectrum consists of seven colors. eg . when we allow light to pass through a glass prism and let the light coming out from other end of the prism fall on a white surface, we can see all the seven colors a bit more clearly.
What device is useful for viewing a spectrum of light?
A prism can be used for splitting light into its constituent colors, but scientists tend to use a more precise instrument called a spectrograph.
How do you split light?
Yes. (White) light can be split into the 7 colour spectrum; red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. White light can be split into the colour spectrum by passing it through a triangular prism, as Sir Isaac Newton did sometime between 1670 and 1672. This is a process known as dispersion.http://www.school-for-champions.com/science/images/light_dispersion1.gifIn the above picture, you can see the white light entering the prism from the left and dispersing into the 7 colour spectrum on the right. The colours at the top of the rainbow bend less than the ones at the bottom. A second prism the same way up placed next to the first prism, will give a greater dispersion of the spectrum. A second prism the other way up placed next to the first prism, will recombine the spectrum to form white light, thus reversing the process.This same process occurs in raindrops and this is why you see a rainbow in the sky when it rains.Read more: Can_you_split_white_light_into_the_color_spectrum
What instrument breaks a star's light into a spectrum?
Sadly, that must depend on where in the metro area your school is located. In the inner city, the class is most likely to have occasional access to a glass prism which is passed around to all the classes in that school or all the schools in that district. In the suburbs and the magnet schools, the class is more likely to have their own diffraction grating, which the whole class or one of the study groups in it can use whenever they feel like it.

How many more vertices does a pentagonal prism have than a rectangular prism?
A pentagonal prism has 10 vertices. A rectangular prism has 8 vertices. Therefore, a pentagonal prism has 2 more vertices than a rectangular prism.
