A prism can break up sunlight into different colors through the process of dispersion. When sunlight enters a prism, it is refracted at different angles depending on the wavelength of each color in the visible spectrum. This separation of colors creates a rainbow effect, with each color appearing at a different position as it exits the prism.
Sunlight has seven colors because the atmosphere acts as a filter, it changes the color, for instance the setting sun, looks yellow or orange.
The Rainbow as you see it are the colours which constitutes the light you see or rather percieve.
white light is made up of all the colours so that means white light can absorb all the colours
light from the sun is know as 'white light'. it is made up of all of the colours seen in the rainbow. when it rains, the light is split up into these different colours in the same way it would if you passed light through a glass prism. Therefore light splits up into its individual colours when it rains, and this is what a rainbow is.
The sunlight hits the glass of water and then the light disperses out as a spectrum of colour (rainbow). This is because sunlight is white light and white light contains the 7 colours of the rainbow. When it hits the glass the colours refract and disperse out as the spectrum of colours, which we see as a rainbow.
Red, Orange and Yellow
Red and blue make up purple, or violet.
Light (or sunlight) is made up of all the wavelengths of light combined. If you mix all the colours of the rainbow together you get white. A prism just spreads out the individual wavelengths to illustrate the different colours. Different colours of light are just different mixtures of these.
Because darker colours absorb the heat and sunlight more and make you feel hotter.
The 7 accepted colours of the rainbow are: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet. A rainbow forms when sunlight, shinning through raindrops, is split into the main colours making up 'white' light.
Primary colours cannot be made up of other colours. For example, red and yellow (primary colours) make orange which is a secondary colour. But no amount of other colours can make a primary colour (red, yellow and blue)x
red and blue colours make violet colour
White is made up of all the colours of the spectrum
The colors are: red, yellow, blue.
there are 5 Olympic rings and all the colours that are in the rings are the colours of the countries flags in whom are participating
This Q&A is about light colours. Paint colours are substances, and different from light colours.If you hold up a glass prism to a beam of sunlight, you'll see the light form a rainbow of colours. This is called the spectrum. It consists of all the colours that make up "white" light.Although you might be able to see seven colours in the spectrum, the white light is really made up of three basic colours. These are called the primary colours because they cannot be made from any other colours. The primary colours of light are red-orange, green, and violet blue. The other colours you see in spectrums or rainbows are made by a mixture of the primary colours.When the naked eye looks at the spectrum, it can see three mixed colours, which are called secondary colours. The secondary colours in light are green-blue, yellow, and magenta-red. You can produce these colours by mixing the primary colours in certain combinations.
