What else can I help you with?
When light is refracted through a prism different colours emerge where do the different colours come from?
Type your answer here... OK. White light is made of the colours of the spectrum (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet - these are the same as the colours of the rainbow). The reason you see these colours instead of wwhite when you shine white light through a prism is that the prism "bends" the light - which splits it into the colours of the spectrum. Red light is the longest, so it is bent the least, and Violet is the shortest - so it is bent the most. This is also how rainbows are made - the rain droplets act as prisms to disperse (split) the light into the colours of the spectrum.
What is another name often used for spectrum?
The visible light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.
What colors of light do you not see when you look at a green leaf?
reddish
What is Ramanathan-molecular scattering of light in fluids?
The Ramanathan scattering of light is the phenomen of visible light scaterring into the 7 different invisible colours of light, when it comes in contact with water, the water sufficing as a glass spectrum to diffract the light into the colours. This phenomenon takes place naturally after rain as the rainbow appears.
White light can be separated into spectrum of colors because each color of light?
Has a different wavelength and energy. At the red end of the spectrum the wavelength is longer and frequency is lower, it will be less easily refracted than light towards the blue end of the spectrum, which is higher in frequency and has a shorter wavelength. The separation of the colours is called dispersion.
What word is used to describe light splitting into the colours of the spectrum using a prism?
Dispersion is the term used to describe light splitting into different colors of the spectrum when it passes through a prism.
What is the splitting of light in to a range of colours called?
The splitting of light into a range of colors is called dispersion. This occurs when light interacts with a prism or a diffraction grating, causing the different wavelengths of light to separate and form a spectrum of colors.
What is splitting of light into component colours by a prism?
The splitting of light into its component colors by a prism is known as dispersion. When white light passes through a prism, different colors of light are refracted at slightly different angles due to their different wavelengths, causing them to separate and form a spectrum of colors.
What is The spreading of light into its different colours?
Its a spectrum
Light that contains all the colours of the spectrum?
White light.
What light that contans all the colours of the spectrum?
"White" light.
What name is giving to this splitting up of white light?
A Spectrum.
Who invented the spectrum?
Isaac Newton is credited with discovering the visible spectrum of light by passing white light through a prism, which separated it into different colors. This led to the development of the concept of the spectrum of light.
What is the term for light energy that appears violet to red?
Its NT light energy it is the dispersion or splitting of light due 2 refraction. It is called 'spectrum' of light.
What is the Visible?
White light is composed of many colours. When these colours combine, they look white. One way of showing that white light is composed of different colours is to make white light pass through a glass prism. This splits up the white light into its constituent colours. I f you hold a screen in its path, you will see a band of colours. This band of colours is called the spectrum. Since it is visible to human eyes, it is called the visible spectrum.
What is the order of light in a spectrum?
The order of light in a spectrum is the order of the colours of the rainbow (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and finally, Violet)
What are primary colors of light?
This Q&A is about light colours. Paint colours are substances, and different from light colours.If you hold up a glass prism to a beam of sunlight, you'll see the light form a rainbow of colours. This is called the spectrum. It consists of all the colours that make up "white" light.Although you might be able to see seven colours in the spectrum, the white light is really made up of three basic colours. These are called the primary colours because they cannot be made from any other colours. The primary colours of light are red-orange, green, and violet blue. The other colours you see in spectrums or rainbows are made by a mixture of the primary colours.When the naked eye looks at the spectrum, it can see three mixed colours, which are called secondary colours. The secondary colours in light are green-blue, yellow, and magenta-red. You can produce these colours by mixing the primary colours in certain combinations.
