What else can I help you with?
Does a viewer see a single color or a spectrum of colors coming from a single faraway raindrop?
Although a wide spectrum of colors are being refracted from a single raindrop, and observer is in a position to see only a single color from any one drop.
What 4 things happen to light when it hits an object?
it can be transmitted, reflected, refracted or diffused. In most cases, some combination of these occurs.
What word describes stopping light so that it is not reflected or refracted?
When light is stopped it is normally said that absorption has taken place. Opaque objects normally absorb light and thus it does not get reflected or refracted.
White light breaks up into different colors when it passes through a prism because of?
White light is a mixture of colored light, and that each color is refracted to a different extent. The different colors correspond to light with different wavelengths, and are refracted to different degrees. This separation of colors is known as dispersion. Which causes the seperation of white light into seven colours Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet.
What happens when you shine an ultraviolet light through a prism?
It's refracted, just as visible light is, *given* that the prism is transparent to UV. Since the angle of refraction increases with decreasing wavelength, expect UV to be refracted to a greater degree than visiblelight.
Which color is most refracted in a 60 degree prism?
Violet
What color is refracted most when passing through a prism?
Blue light is refracted the most when passing through a prism, followed by green, yellow, orange, and red light in that order. This is due to the different wavelengths of the colors, with blue light having the shortest wavelength and being bent the most as it passes through the prism.
What makes the color of rainbows?
light refracted by raindrops appear to be different colours
What color travels most slowly in glass?
The speed of light does not vary by the color that it is perceived as, so all of the colors should travel at the same speed.
Can people see different colors?
no you can not see colors at night because color is the eyes perception of refracted light
How does refracted light produce a rainbow?
When light enters a water droplet, it is refracted and dispersed into its component colors due to differences in the speed of each color in the medium. Each color is refracted at a slightly different angle, creating a spectrum of colors. The light reflects off the back of the droplet and exits, forming a circular arc of colors that we see as a rainbow.
What colour of light is refracted most?
Violet light is refracted the most because it has the shortest wavelength among visible light, causing it to bend more when passing through a medium.
What colors are icebergs?
Icebergs themselves are colorless. The appearance of color in icebergs is the result of reflected and refracted light.
Why the sky appears to change color and what cause this to happen?
change in the composition of the gasses and the angle of refracted light
What color is least bent by a prism?
Red light is refracted the least by a prism as it has the longest wavelength.
When light passes through a prism which color of light is reflected the most?
When light passes through a prism, the color that is reflected the most depends on the properties of the prism and the angle at which the light enters. Generally, all colors of light are refracted to different degrees by the prism, with each color having a different wavelength and therefore a different angle of refraction.
What colour is refracted most when passing triangular prism?
violet is most refracted when passing through a triangular prism because refractive index of violet is more and dispersion is directly proportional to ref index
