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 color light is made when all 7 colors of the are present?
White. It is also called the spectrum.
Why does black absorb more heat than silver?
black absorbs more heat because the color black absorbs all colors of the color spectrum. White absorbs less heat then black because is reflects all the colors of the spectrum. Black is a non exsistant color that is the disappearence of light therefore it absorbs heat and light.
Why does an object appear white?
Light is an electromagnetic phenomena. it is made of up waves of energy vibrating at certain frequencies. The different frequencies of light have different wavelengths. The different wavelengths of light have different colours associated with them. All the wavelenghts together produce the white appearance of light.
How does a prism allow us to see more than just white light?
I got this ! A prism allows you to see more then just white light because the sun reflects to the prism and then that light gets absorbed and reflected back into our eyes to see all the colors of the spectrum.
What is the break up of sunlight into colors?
An optical prism can be used to disperse light from the sun's spectrum into all of its constituent colors. It is the same concept that gives rise to the phenomenon of rainbows.
What kind of spectrum shows all the colors?
a white spectrum because white is made up of all colors.
What does white light made up of?
white light is made of the seven spectrum colors violet,indigo,blue,green,yellow,orange and red that's why the spectrum forms when white light is passed through an transparent object.this happens because white light is separated again making white light the seven spectrum colors again this process is known as refraction.
When white light is passed through a prism it separated into the colors of te rainbow called the?
Visible Spectrum
Why is white white?
because white reflects all the colors on the color spectrum
What is the difference between white light and a spectrum?
the difference is that white light is a mixture of the seven spectrum colors but when refracted (separated by a transparent object) it splits again into seven colors striking at different angles that's why they look like one.one color above others.so the difference is that spectrum is a number of split colors striking at different angles but white light is the mixture of those colors.
The mixture of colors in white light is called the spectrum?
The spectrum
What colors create white light?
All the colors of the spectrum.
What colors mixed up to white?
Paint: You cannot mix colors to make white because white is the lack of color. Light: You must mix all of the colors of the spectrum in order to create a white light.
Is the sun white?
yes it is white because its the color spectrum that fools you the colors that are most visible in that case is red, yellow, and orange but its white so the colors reflect off it.
Is a white a combination of colors or absence of colors?
white is made up of all the colours in the spectrum
White light can be separated into the visible spectrum to form a?
"rainbow"
Why does an object appear red when white light is shone on it?
Because white light is made up of all the colors of the spectrum, and an object that appears red in color is simply reflecting the color red, a white object refects all the colors of the spectrum while black objects reflect no colors at all.
