a spectograph
Light colors reflect and dark colors absorb.
Because light colors reflect light, as opposed to dark colors that absorb light.
Light is reflected of metal when it is polished and flat because it is very light and lighter colors reflect light whereas darker colors such as green suck the colors in.
White light is made up of all the colors of the rainbow, including red. A red object, such as a rose, absorbs all the colors with the exception of red. The red is reflected back into your eye. Flowers advertise to passing bugs using shiny colors such as red.
an endoscope is just an object used in surgeries, it has a light, camera, and a 'passage' for instruments to be used, it it used to examine hollow organs or cavities, but you can use this instrument to do certain surgeries.
a spectograph
A spectrograph can do that.
The instrument you're referring to is a spectrophotometer. It measures the intensity of light at different wavelengths in the spectrum, allowing for the analysis of a material's unique absorbance or emission profile.
Prism ...it breaks up light into different colors.
That's called - a prism.
The instrument that breaks up white light from a star into its different colors is called a spectroscope or spectrometer. It uses a prism or diffraction grating to disperse the light into its constituent wavelengths, creating a spectrum. This spectrum allows astronomers to analyze the composition, temperature, and motion of the star, as well as to identify various elements present in its atmosphere.
A prism is a transparent object that bends light and disperses it into the colors of the rainbow through refraction.
When white light hits an object, the object absorbs certain colors of light and reflects others. The colors that are reflected off the object are what we perceive as the color of the object.
You see the colors of light that are reflected off the object. The colors you see depend on the wavelengths of light that the object reflects. For example, if an object reflects green light and absorbs all other colors, you will perceive the object as green.
A prism is commonly used to break up white light into its spectrum. White light is composed of different wavelengths, each corresponding to a different color. When white light passes through a prism, it is refracted, causing the different wavelengths to separate and create a spectrum of colors.
reflect
White light contains the many colors you see. The illuminated object will absorb and reflect the light as its' materials see fit. A black object will absorb all colors. A white object reflects all colors. Everything else lies in between there somewhere.
