How white light produced different colors?
White light doesn't produce different colors. The only way to make white light is tocombine light with all of the different colors. So if you already have white light, allof the colors are already there. You only have to separate them in order to see them.
Does white light only contain only yellow and blue?
White light actually contains all the colors of the rainbow, not just yellow and blue. When white light is passed through a prism, it separates into the different colors of the spectrum, showing that it is composed of all the colors of light.
Why do the colors of the rainbow come out of a prism?
A rainbow results only when "white light" shines through it. White light is a combination of light of many different wavelengths (we see different wavelengths as different colors). Each wavelength is refracted (bended) at a slightly different angle, separating the different colors for us to see.
Can refracted light be refocused back to white light?
Yes, it certainly can. There are many simple arrangements to do so. The classic example is the diffused light that passed through a prism, when passed through another prism it is restored to its original characteristics.IMPROVEMENT:The aforesaid classic method works only if the second prism is placed in a reverse way (upside-down as compared to the first). What happens is that the white light that gets split in the first prism, de-splits when it passes through the second prism resulting in getting back the original white light.
What light includes all colors from the spectrum?
Any light that originated from heat consist of light at all spectrum band. I believe you might want to know if it is white light, from human biology we do see the overall light's colour as white even if the light compose from just red blue and green. Only light that come from source of heating like Sun light, candle, wood fire do contain the full spectrum. The thermal radiation is also called black body radiation.
Why did Sir Newton conclude that the prism was not the source of colors?
Sir Isaac Newton concluded that the prism was not the source of colors because he observed that white light could be separated into its component colors when passed through a prism, indicating that the prism was only causing the separation of colors already present in the light. He reasoned that white light must be a mixture of different colors.

Does the colour of incoming light affect the pattern of the prism?
Sure. The prism just spreads out the wavelengths that enter it. No color can come out of the prism that didn't go into the prism. When white light goes in, you see all colors come out, because white light is a mix of all colors. But if the light that entered the prism was a mix of only red and blue, then all you'd see come out would be a red stripe and a blue stripe, with no light in between them.

How can you change the color of white light?
White light is made up of all the colours in the spectrum. This can be proved by passing a ray of white light through a prism. As the light passes through the prism it will be split into the colours of the rainbow. Making a rainbow is one way of changing the colour of white lite. Another way is to filter the light - if you shine white light through a red filter then only the red bit of the white light will pass through, turning the light beam into a red beam.
What statement correctly identifies a sound wave?
A beam of sunlight falling on a prism refracts and forms seven color bands. This illustrates that A) white light is the absence of color. B) white light is made up of seven different colors. C) only a prism can split sunlight into seven colors. D) the light coming out of the prism is not sunlight.
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.
How is white paper seen. In science we did about seeing red paper. He said all the colours of the rainbow come from a source of light and then only red reflects off the paper. How is white different?
White light is simply pure light; it is a mix of all the colors of light. You can test this by putting a crystal prism near a light and admiring the rainbow. The prism has separated the white light into all its different colors. We can see white things, like bleached paper, because it simply reflects nearly all light, therefore appearing as white to us. Of course, even paper isn't perfect. It has ridges and texture. The tiny, tiny shadows that lie in these ridges help our eyes to recognize an object is sitting in front of us.
When blue light goes through a prism what happens?
Blue light enters the prism and is refracted (bent) by the glass and emerges as blue light on the other side. Blue light is bent (refracted) most due to its slow(er) speed than say Red light which is faster and has a longer wavelength. Newton did an experiment like this and concluded that white light was made up of different colours of light together. Shine a white light through a prism and it will emerge as all the colours of the rainbow. Blue light is unchanged as it consists only of blue light Answered by Chris Banks.
Is it true that white light contains only the green and orange colors of light?
No, it is not true that white light contains only green and orange colors. White light is a mixture of all colors in the visible spectrum, which includes red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. When combined, these colors produce white light, as seen in phenomena like rainbows and when light passes through a prism.
What is dispersion of white light?
White is not a colour. It is sensed only by human eye. Actually white is a composite of many colours. Such a composite white light could be spilit up by using a triangular prism. This splitting of composite white light into its constituent colours is called dispersion.
