What can bend in white light?

White light can bend when it passes through a prism due to refraction. The different colors in white light have different wavelengths, which causes them to bend at slightly different angles as they pass through the prism, resulting in the separation of colors known as a rainbow.


Which of the six colors of the rainbow is refracted the greatest?

Violet light is refracted the most in a prism, as it has the shortest wavelength among the colors of the rainbow. This causes it to bend more when passing through a medium like glass.


Where do you buy a rainbow?

1. Go purchase a small triangular prism from a store specialising in child science toys and experiments. 2. Shine the prism in the light and it will bend the light, separating the spectrum into the 7 colours of the rainbow, red orange yellow green blue indigo and violet. 3. There's your rainbow.


How does rainbow diffraction occur in nature?

Rainbow diffraction occurs in nature when sunlight passes through water droplets in the atmosphere, causing the light to bend and separate into its different colors. This happens because the different colors of light have different wavelengths, which causes them to refract at slightly different angles, creating the rainbow effect that we see in the sky.


Can light rays bend?

Yes, light rays can bend when they pass through different mediums with varying densities, such as air, water, or glass. This phenomenon is called refraction and is caused by the change in speed of light when it moves from one medium to another.


What makes rainbows colorful?

Water droplets in the air act like a prism and bend the light rays from the Sun which splits the light into the individual wavelengths, allowing you to view it as a rainbow.


Why the rainbow is colourful?

Because when the observer is between the sun and the rain droplets the sun hits the rain droplets and then the rain droplets bend and form the colours.
