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.


How the color white is made up of many colors?

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.
