White light doesn't split into only seven colors. It splits into a smooth fanning out of different wavelengths. We select seven wavelengths and give them names: Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red.
You can also name greenish yellow or blue-green or any other 'in between' colors you want.

Why white light emit light?
Light doesn't emit light, but other things do, like stars for example. Many things give off light, but white light is the only visible light, and is made up of many different colors, like a rainbow. The sun and other stars emit such light.
Why does the sun reflect off of white and not black?
-- Where you see white, you see a surface that reflects all colors. If it didn't reflect all colors, you would see only the colors that it does reflect. -- Black is not a color. It's the absence of light. An object that appears black to you is one that absorbs light of all colors, so there's no light remaining to proceed from it to your eyes.
How do color and light affect each other?
Color and light are the same thing A color is a spesific wavelength of light. All the colors together makes white light. A red ball reflect "only" the red wavelength of the light, thereby appearing red. If you shine on it with a blue light and blue light only, the ball will appear Black, simply because there is no Red light to reflect.
Which colors are reflected from blue?
Blue objects reflect blue light and absorb other colors.
What roofing color absorbs less heat and sunrays?
Lighter roof colors such as white, light gray, or light beige tend to absorb less heat and reflect more sunlight compared to darker roof colors. This can help reduce the amount of heat that is transferred into the building and lower cooling costs.
How white light produced different colors?
White light doesn't produce different colors. The only way to make white light is tocombine light with all of the different colors. So if you already have white light, allof the colors are already there. You only have to separate them in order to see them.
Is white all the colors together?
No, white is the presence of all colors combined. When all colors of light are present, they create white light. This is different from pigments, where all colors are absorbed and only white is reflected.
Does white light only contain only yellow and blue?
White light actually contains all the colors of the rainbow, not just yellow and blue. When white light is passed through a prism, it separates into the different colors of the spectrum, showing that it is composed of all the colors of light.
What statement correctly identifies a sound wave?
A beam of sunlight falling on a prism refracts and forms seven color bands. This illustrates that A) white light is the absence of color. B) white light is made up of seven different colors. C) only a prism can split sunlight into seven colors. D) the light coming out of the prism is not sunlight.
What is white light and how is it different from other types of light?
White light is a combination of all the colors in the visible spectrum. It is different from other types of light because it contains all the colors, while other types of light may only contain specific colors or wavelengths.
Why does a white piece of paper appear white in white light red in red light blue in blue light and so on?
White surface reflects all wavelengths of visible light spectrum (ie. white color is a mixture of all the other colors). If the light that falls on the surface has one specific wavelength, only that wavelength occurs in the light reflected.
What color of light must be combined with green light to obtain white light?
White light is a combination of all colors of light. To obtain white light when combining with green light, you'll need to combine red and blue light as well, as red, green, and blue are the primary colors of light.
Why white light emit light?
Light doesn't emit light, but other things do, like stars for example. Many things give off light, but white light is the only visible light, and is made up of many different colors, like a rainbow. The sun and other stars emit such light.
Why is the mixture of all colors of the light spectrum called white light?
If all colors of light are mixed, the light becomes white, hence white light. Most lights used to light buildings are not exactly white since they only contain certain wavelengths of light in the spectrum.
White light contains only yellow and blue light?
This statement is incorrect. White light is composed of a mixture of all the colors in the visible light spectrum, including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. When combined, these colors create white light.
Why did Sir Newton conclude that the prism was not the source of colors?
Sir Isaac Newton concluded that the prism was not the source of colors because he observed that white light could be separated into its component colors when passed through a prism, indicating that the prism was only causing the separation of colors already present in the light. He reasoned that white light must be a mixture of different colors.
Do all light sources have the same spectra as white light?
No, not all light sources have the same spectra as white light. White light contains all the colors of the spectrum, while other light sources may emit only specific colors or wavelengths, resulting in a different spectral composition.
