Why does white light split into different colours when it hits a prism?

White light is a mixture of different colors, each with a specific wavelength. When white light enters a prism, the different colors that make up white light bend at slightly different angles due to their differing wavelengths. This causes the white light to separate into its component colors, creating a spectrum.

Why does light split up in a prism?

Light splits up in a prism because different colors of light travel at slightly different speeds through the prism due to their different wavelengths. This causes the different colors to refract, or bend, at different angles, resulting in the separation of white light into a spectrum of colors.


What object separates white light into the colors that make it up?

An object that is used primarily to split white light into its seperate color spectra is called a "prism," a triangular cross-sectioned piece of solid clear material such as glass.


How can you demonstrate to a friend that white light is made up of different colors?

There are two ways of doing this: 1) use a prism to split white light into different colors - see the related link below. 2) use a spinning disk to merge colors to make white - see the related link below.

Why light splits up into a rainbow?

What we think of as white light is in fact a mixture of many "colors", or frequencies of light. A prism or a water droplet merely separates them, or bends them so that we see them a split.


What is the name for when light is split up into the different colours of the spectrum?

The name for when light is split up into the different colors of the spectrum is called "dispersion."
