What do you call a band of colors when light passes through a prism?

There are more than seven but only seven are visible. They are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, and the one that cant be seen is ultra-violet.

come out of the second one either spread wider or somewhat crowded back together.

Why is white light dispersed by a glass prism?
When white light(composite light) consisting of various colors is passed through a prism, light of different colors will be deviated through different angles. Since the deviation is related to refractive index and refractive index to the color of light the deviation produced for different colors are different for same prism.That is the refractive indices are different for the various colors and this difference in the refractive indices is responsible for dispersion.
How do you use prism in a sentence?
Wow that prism sure makes some pretty colors when light shines through it!
What tools can be used to break up white light?
Breaking of white lights means dispersion of light in which the white light or the visible light splits into 7 colors. Many tools may be used to break up the white light but among them one of them is Prism. It can break up the white lights into 7 colors. Keep a white paper in front of the prism and the prism in the sun due to which the sunlight coming from the sun passes through the prism and the white breaks up into 7 colors due to change in velocity of the different invisible lights inside the white or the visible light. Other tools like plastic scale or ruler also can be used to break up the white light. Thank you
After white light has been broken up into all visible colors of the spectrum after being passed through a prism what will happen if all these colors are then passed through a second prism?
If all colors are passed through another prism white light will emerge This may sound funny, but check out the pink Floyd album dark side of the moon, look at the front then look at the back it is an upside down image with colors going in and light going out. Imagine those are the colors from the front. (The triangle is a 2D interpretation of a triangular prism)
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 to light that passes through a prism?
the colors of light seperates to show all the colors of light.
Why does the violet light split into different colors when it passes through the prism?
Violet light does not split into different colors when it passes through a prism.If it goes in violet, it comes out violet.White light is a combination of light of many colors. If you pass white light througha prism, a spread of different colors will come out of the prism, because each colorbends through a slightly different angle on its way through the prism.
When light passes through a prism what does this reveal about white light?
When light passes through a prism it reveals that regular light is in fact All of the different colors of the rainbow Please recomend me as a contributor
If a laser beam consists of light of only a single color will it produce a spectrum of colors when it passes through a glass prism?
No. Monochromatic light (light of a single color) will pass through the prism without dispersing. White light disperses into its constituent colors as it passes through a prism, and we therefore observe the different colors emerging in a dispersal pattern as the light emerges from the opposite side of the prism. Since monochromatic light is made up of only one color, there are no colors to disperse, and so the beam of light passes through the prism coherently.
Why does the color spectrum appear as a band of colors?
since it passes through a prism or any form of a prism like water droplets after rain, the white light that passes through the prism is split into seven colors forms a band of colors.
The splitting of white light into colors as it passes through a triangular prism?
Dispersion
