Why isn't there white color in rainbow?

White light is actually a combination of all the colors of the rainbow. When white light passes through a prism, it separates into the different colors of the spectrum due to their different wavelengths. The colors we see in a rainbow are a result of this separation of white light.


Why is white light considered as the composition of all colors?

It's not "considered"...it IS the composition of all colors! Light works differently than paint. When you add more and more colors of paint together, you get black paint. When you add more and more colors of light, you get what we call "white" light. It's also referred to as color addition.


How the color white is made up of many colors?

White light is composed of all the colors in the visible light spectrum. When white light passes through a prism, it is refracted and separated into its component colors, creating a rainbow. Each color in the spectrum has a different wavelength, and when combined together, they form white light.


What color you get when you mix all colors?

If you don't add white [which is really an ABSCENCE of color ], you get black. And if you do add white... You get grey. :3333 Not really...


What color is obtained when the primary colors of light are mixed and why?

You would get white, because it is like the light beams are going through a crystal. The idea encapsulated here is that white light, when sent through a prism, is broken up into its constituent colors. When you reverse the process and add together the light that is broken up by a prism, the result is white light. ___________________________________________ When the primary colors of light are mixed, the outcome is white light. I don't know exactly why this happens, but I'm guessing this: You know how white light is really composed of all the colors of the rainbow? When you mix all the primary colors of the rainbow together, you get white light.

Colored light formed by a prism can be recombined to form what?

Colored light formed by a prism can be recombined to form white light, as white light is a combination of all the colors in the visible spectrum.


Newton discovered that the colors formed by a prism can be recombined to create what light?

When the colors formed by a prism is made to pass through a second prism, it results in producing white light. Newton's experiment demonstrated in this method is recombination of light. Conversely dispersion can be demonstrated with the help of a single prism.


Newton discovered that the colors formed by a prism can be recombined to create light?

He discovers what is known as the rainbow, by using a prism to show that light is made up of all of those colors.


How is white light created and what are the components involved in its production?

White light is created by combining all the colors of the visible spectrum together. The components involved in its production include a light source, such as the sun or a light bulb, that emits a broad range of wavelengths. These wavelengths are then refracted or reflected by a prism or other optical device to separate them into the different colors, which are then recombined to form white light.


When passed through a second prism the light is combined to form white light once again?

This describes the process of dispersion where white light is separated into its component colors by a prism, and then combining these colors through another prism reverts it back to white light. This is due to the dispersion of light wavelengths by the prisms, which are then recombined to form white light.


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.


Why does white light separate into different colors when it passes through a prism?

White light is composed of different colors with varying wavelengths. When white light enters a prism, the different colors refract at different angles due to their differing wavelengths. This causes the white light to separate into its individual colors, creating a spectrum.


What can you use to see all the different colors in white light?

You can use a prism to see all the different colors in white light.


Why doesn't a prism add colours to a white light?

Prism doesn't add colors to white light, it just dissipate the all colors of white light into different direction. White light contains all seven colors in it. So don't be confused in the addition of colors into white light or dissipation of all colors, containing in white light.


The separation of white light into different colors by a prism is called?

The separation of white light into different colors by a prism is called dispersion.


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 the spectrum appear when White light is shone into a prism?

White light is composed of different colors, each with a different wavelength. When white light passes through a prism, it gets refracted at different angles based on its wavelength due to dispersion. This separation of colors creates a spectrum that is visible as different colors of light.
