It is split/dispersed further for exactly the same reasons as one prism splits white light.
Isaac newton's classic experiment conducted during the plague year of 1665 in England was arranged as follows
He closed the wooden shutters in a room during a sunny day and made a hole in the shutters to allow a shaft of sunlight to enter the darkened room. On a pedestal in the centre of the room he arranged a glass prism to refract the white sunlight into a spectrum of colours which were displayed on the whitewashed wall. He then blocked all the other colours except red light emitted from the first prism by using a sheet of wood. The red light from the first prism was then directed towards a second glass prism to see if more colours or white light would be generated. He found that the red light was further refracted and no other colours were produced. He thus determined that sunlight was composed of the 7 colours of the spectrum. It is not at all easy to take a spectrum and recombine it through a prism to make white light. It can be done by mixing red,blue,and green light from separate pure light sources of these colours. This is how colour television works and is called additive mixing .This is different to mixing paint pigments together, this is called subtractive mixing.
What else can I help you with?
What spectrum does white light form?
when dispersed through a prism: Visible spectrum of light (rainbow) part of (very small fraction) electromagnets spectrum
Does a prism separate light into only the visible spectrum or the entire spectrum?
A prism separates light into the visible spectrum, which includes the colors of the rainbow. It does not separate light into the entire electromagnetic spectrum, which ranges from gamma rays to radio waves.
What is a piece of glass that separates the visible wavelengths of light?
A prism is a piece of glass that separates the visible wavelengths of light by refracting, or bending, different colors of light at different angles as they pass through the prism. This causes the colors to spread out, creating a rainbow effect.
What can you use to separate visible light?
You can use a prism to separate visible light into its different colors through the process of refraction. This creates a rainbow-like spectrum of colors ranging from red to violet.
Which type of spectrum is produced when light from the sun passes through a prism?
It is the spectrum of visible light, which has the colors of the rainbow.
How can a prism form a visible spectrum?
A prism can form a visible spectrum by refracting light as it passes through the prism. The different colors of light have different wavelengths, causing them to bend at different angles when passing through the prism. This separation of colors creates the visible spectrum.
Colored light formed by a prism can be recombined to form what?
Colored light formed by a prism can be recombined to form white light, as white light is a combination of all the colors in the visible spectrum.
When light shines into a prism a rainbow of colors comes out of the prism.?
When ordinary visible light shines on a prism.
What phenomenon cause color of visible light to be separate by a prism?
Refraction is the phenomenon causes colors of visible light to be separated by a prism.
What happens when a light ray enter a prism?
All the colors of the visible light spectrum are made visible.
What spectrum does white light form?
when dispersed through a prism: Visible spectrum of light (rainbow) part of (very small fraction) electromagnets spectrum
What phenomenon causes of visible light to be separated by a prism?
Dispersion
Does a prism separate light into only the visible spectrum or the entire spectrum?
A prism separates light into the visible spectrum, which includes the colors of the rainbow. It does not separate light into the entire electromagnetic spectrum, which ranges from gamma rays to radio waves.
How can you show that visible light is made up of many different wavelength?
A prism will separate visible light into its component colors.
How can you separate the color of visible light?
This is normally done by passing the light through a prism.
A visible light wave that can be bent the least by a prism is the color?
The color that can be bent the least by a prism is red. This is because red light has the longest wavelength of all visible light colors, making it less susceptible to bending when passing through a medium like a prism.
What is a piece of glass that separates the visible wavelengths of light?
A prism is a piece of glass that separates the visible wavelengths of light by refracting, or bending, different colors of light at different angles as they pass through the prism. This causes the colors to spread out, creating a rainbow effect.
