White light contains all colors. When white light passes through red glass, for example

(or any red thing that passes light through it), all of the colors except red are removed

(filtered out) so the resulting light only contains the color red.

This is a big part of the reason why that piece of glass comes to be called "red" glass.

Speed of light will be minimum when it passes through?

The speed of light is constant and does not change based on the material it passes through. However, when light enters a medium such as glass or water, its speed decreases due to interactions with the atoms in the material.


When light enters the eye it first passes through what structure?

When light enters the eye, it first passes through the cornea, which is the transparent outer layer of the eye. The cornea helps to focus the light as it enters, before it passes through the aqueous humor and then the pupil, which is controlled by the iris to regulate the amount of light that continues into the eye.


What happens when light passes through a substance near 0 degrees Kelvin?

When light passes through a substance near 0 degrees Kelvin, it bends and becomes deformed.


Why does light changes its colour after passing through some transparent coloured like a red coloured transparent piece of glass or any such glass or matter?

When light passes through a colored transparent material, certain wavelengths of light are absorbed by the material while others are transmitted. The transmitted light has a different color because it is missing the wavelengths that were absorbed by the material. This causes the light to appear as a different color when it exits the material.


Explain What happens when a beam of light passes through a colloidal solution and why?

When a beam of light passes through a colloidal solution, the light scatters off the suspended particles in the solution in all directions. This scattering of light is known as the Tyndall effect. The intensity of the scattered light depends on the size of the particles in the colloidal solution.

What is the color of opaque and transparent?

"Opaque" and "transparent" refer to the amount of light that passes through the colour, not the colour itself. "Opaque" is a term used to describe any solid colour that light does not pass through. If you put an opaque colour it over another colour you will not see the colour below through it. "Transparent" is a term used to describe any colour that light passes through in any of many varying degrees. If you paint a transparent colour over another colour, you will be able, to some degree, to see the colour(s) and the ground (paper, canvas, whatever you are painting on) through the top coat.


What colour will you see shone a red light through a blue filter?

When shining a red light through a blue filter, the light that passes through will appear black. This is because the blue filter only allows blue light to pass through, while blocking red light.


What is the series of colour bands that are formed after light passes through a prism called?

The series of color bands formed after light passes through a prism is called a spectrum. This spectrum is created due to the dispersion of light into its component colors based on their wavelengths.


The colour least deviated when he light passes through the prism?

Out of the visible colors, red. The lower the wavelength the less it is dispersed.


How can light passes through?

light passes in straight line


Why do you see rainbow in the sky?

When light passes through a concave mirror lights are deflected and form any colour because light consist of 7 colour. After rainfall there are water vapour in the sky those are worked as concave lens. When sunlight passes through the water vapour lights deflect and shows 7 colour. We see many colour from a bubble because of the reason.


When light goes trhough a red filter the colour that comes trough is?

When light passes through a red filter, the color that comes through is red, as the filter absorbs other colors of light and only allows red wavelengths to pass through.


When white light travels through a glass prism which colour is refracted through the largest angle?

Violet light is refracted through the largest angle when white light passes through a glass prism because it has the shortest wavelength of all the colors in the visible spectrum.


When sunlight passes through a prism what colour dispersed light bends the least?

Red light, which has the longest wavelength, bends the least when passing through a prism, while violet light, with the shortest wavelength, bends the most.
