How does a prism reflects colors?
Because of the refraction of the room and the light
How is a prism able to break sunlight into its component colours?
Different colors of light travel at slightly different speeds in the material of the prism. This causes a refraction that spreads apart the colors.
A prism splashing a rainbow is an example of what element of art?
Color
What is a solid piece of glass shaped like a wedge?
Prism
Does a quartz crystal have more or fewer faces than a halite crystal?
Quartz is silicon dioxide, SiO2. It forms a hexagonal prism as an ideal crystal. Impurities in the quartz can give it pretty colours eg rose quartz.Halite is sodium chloride, common table salt, NaCl. It forms cubic crystals. These can be seen with a magnifying glass when looking at table salt.Perfect crystals are formed by careful evaporation of solutions.
What is meant by dispersive power of prism?
the dispersive power of prism can be defined as the rate of change of angle of deviation in specific spectrum of light ..
What is the principle of dispersive power of prism?
It works under the principle of refraction and the phenomenon of dispersion.
A prism breaks white light into what?
A dispersive prism can break light into its spectral colours, or the colours of the rainbow
What is dispersive power of a prism?
.04 to .05 typically about 0.47
How is a rainbow similar to a prism?
Rainbow is not similar to prism.A rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon that is caused by reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky.A prism is a transparent optical element with flat, polished surfaces that refract light with at least two of the flat surfaces having an angle between them.A dispersive prism can be used to break light up into its constituent spectral colors (the colors of the rainbow).So the water droplets can be considered as being similar to a dispersive prism.
What do you call a prism spreading out light into colors?
It is called Visible light Spectrum.
Finding the height of a triangular prism?
Simple................ You can't!
Why does the formula for finding the surface area of a rectangular prism is helpful?
There must be a typo in this question, "Why does the formula for finding the surface area of arectangular prism is helpful?" What does that even mean?
What is the formula for finding the volume of a rectangular prism prism?
Volume = (length) times (width) x (height)
Why is finding the formula of a surface area helpful to a rectangular prism?
I am not sure that a rectangular prism is in any position to care!
What does finding the volume of a prism mean?
A prism is a solid geometric object. If you know its shape and dimensions you can calculate its volume.
What is the formula in finding the volume of rectangular prism?
The volume of a rectangular prism can be found by the formula: volume=length*width*height
