Yes. (White) light can be split into the 7 colour spectrum; red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. White light can be split into the colour spectrum by passing it through a triangular prism, as Sir Isaac newton did sometime between 1670 and 1672. This is a process known as dispersion.

In the above picture, you can see the white light entering the prism from the left and dispersing into the 7 colour spectrum on the right. The colours at the top of the rainbow bend less than the ones at the bottom. A second prism the same way up placed next to the first prism, will give a greater dispersion of the spectrum. A second prism the other way up placed next to the first prism, will recombine the spectrum to form white light, thus reversing the process.
This same process occurs in raindrops and this is why you see a rainbow in the sky when it rains.

Slip rings and split rings?
Slip rings are used in AC while split rings are used in DC generators

What is the differences between the slip and split rings?
Split rings are in AC generators ( alternating current) while slip rings are in DC current (direct current).
What causes the electrical polarity of the armature to reverse?
poles of an armature can be reversed by the arrangement of split-rings
What does E1 mean on a starway split?

What can be used to split up light?
i dont even think light can be split up i dont know
How can light be observed as a wave?
diffraction splits light, it wouldnt split particles but it would split a wave
What are things that split up light rays?
tiny droplets of water can split up light rays
What can split a light beam?
A prism can split a light beam into its constituent colors by refracting the different wavelengths of light at slightly different angles. Alternatively, a diffraction grating can also split light by dispersing it into its spectral components through interference patterns.
What is a piece of glass that is used to split light into colors?
A prism is a piece of glass that can split light into its different colors through refraction.
What is white light split into to coloured light called?
White light split into colored light is called dispersion. This occurs when white light is passed through a prism, which separates the different colors based on their wavelengths.
What molecule is split during the light reactions of photosynthesis to release oxygen?
Water molecule is split during the light reactions of photosynthesis to release oxygen.
Can you split white light by passing through it through a prison?
White light cannot be split by passing it through a prism in a prison. A prism can split white light into its component colors due to refraction, which separates the light based on its wavelengths. However, a prison is a correctional facility for people, not a scientific instrument for light manipulation.
What object can be used to split light into colours?
A prism is an object that can be used to split white light into its different colors by refracting the light at different angles due to their different wavelengths.
Who found out that light can be split?
Isac Newton
What colors do you see when you split light?
When light is split, it produces a spectrum of colors. The colors in a rainbow are often seen when light is split, including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. This splitting of colors is due to the different wavelengths of light being refracted at different angles.
What are the seven colors when you split white light?
White light splits into red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet when it is split by a prism. It does the same when water droplets split it into a rainbow.
