White light consists of the colours red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. These seven colours each having a different wavelength (the wavelength decreases in the order the colours were given above). Thus, white light has radiations of different wavelength, but NOT 'all'.

∙ 11y agoYes! Based on Issac Newton's rules of light, when ROYGBIV mixes together, white light is formed. Try it out, with the 1/3 yellow. Make a spinner with the colors on it, stick it with a thunbtack in a pencil, and spin it! You can read more from Issac Newton's books from your local library near you. <3

What is a combination of several different wavelengths of light traveling together?
When the visible light of all wavelengths are combined, it is called white light.
If white light goes into a material and only blue light comes out the other wavelengths have been?
absorbed
What must happen to all wave lengths of light for a substance to appear white?
The colours we see in an object are only the colours that are reflected. Inferentially, the other colours are absorbed. The grass is green (when illuminated by a white light source) because the redder end of the spectrum is absorbed and used by the plant to do its stuff - photosynthesis and so on. A white card appears white because all the light wavelengths [to which we can respond] are reflected. That card may absorb some of the white light, but not at wavelengths to which we respond.
What color reflects heat best for an outside umbrella?
White light is made up of all the different colors of light, as can be seen when it is separated into these various wavelengths using a prism. The colors that we see are the wavelengths of light that are being reflected off of the objects we are looking at. Objects that are red will reflect only red wavelengths and will absorb the other wavelengths; objects that are blue will reflect only blue wavelengths and will absorb the other wavelengths; etc. Black objects absorb all visible wavelengths of light, which is why black asphalt gets so hot in the sunlight. White objects reflect all wavelengths of light. Therefore, a white umbrella would reflect the largest amount of light. However, this does not necessarily imply that it would be the best color to use for an umbrella because what really matters is how much light is transmitted through the umbrella to reach the shade below. The more light that gets through, the less effective the umbrella is in providing you with shade. Therefore, what really matters is how opaque the umbrella is, rather than what color the umbrella is. The opaqueness will be more characteristic of what material the umbrella is made of than what color it is. The fraction of the light that is transmitted will equal all the light that strikes the umbrella that is neither reflected nor absorbed. Thus, it is best to find an umbrella which combines high reflectivity with high opaqueness (generally a thick material) in order to keep the umbrella from heating up and stop the greatest percentage of the sun's rays from reaching you.
Where do the prism come from?
Light (or sunlight) is made up of all the wavelengths of light combined. If you mix all the colours of the rainbow together you get white. A prism just spreads out the individual wavelengths to illustrate the different colours. Different colours of light are just different mixtures of these.
What is a combination of several different wavelengths of light traveling together?
When the visible light of all wavelengths are combined, it is called white light.
What is the separation of light into different wavelengths?
It means the wavelengths are separated. White light, for example, is actually a mixture of different wavelengths.
What goes in the blank Mixing all of the wavelengths of together creates white light?
All of the wavelengths of VISIBLE LIGHT.
What color has the most color?
Technically white. Color is from wavelengths of light being reflected, and white is a reflection of all wavelengths
True or false a solution which reflects white light absorbs all wavelenghts?
It is false that a solution that reflects white light absorbs all wavelengths. A solution that reflects white light reflects all wavelengths.
Why does not white light when falls on objects makes them appear as black or white?
Many objects do appear black or white when light falls on them. If they are black, it means that the object is absorbing all wavelengths of visible light and not reflecting any. If they are white, it means that they are reflecting all wavelengths of visible light and not absorbing any. The color of an object is due to the wavelengths of light that it reflects.
What separates white light into it various colors?
White light appears white because it is a conglomeration of all the different wavelengths of light. A prism will separate the different wavelengths because they refract (or bend) at different angles through the prism.
What kinda light is a mixture of all visible wavelengths of a spectrum?
White Light.
What kinda light is a mixture of all visible wavelengths of the spectrum?
White Light.
Why do photons of white light have different colours?
Photons of light have different colors because they have different energies resulting in different wavelengths. There is no such thing as white light - it is a mixture of all the various wavelengths - red, blue, green, etc. - and we perceive it as white.
How white light is created?
mixture of 3 wavelengths of white Red blue and yellow
Why sunlight turn black colour into white?
Sunlight cannot turn black into white. However, a black surface may appear white in bright sunlight due to reflection of all the wavelengths of light from a shiny surface. The color black is actually the result of the absence of reflection of any wavelengths of light while the color white is the result of reflection of all the wavelengths of light.
