Newton discovered that the colors formed by a prism can be recombined to create what light?

When the colors formed by a prism is made to pass through a second prism, it results in producing white light. Newton's experiment demonstrated in this method is recombination of light. Conversely dispersion can be demonstrated with the help of a single prism.


How can different colors be recombined into light?

Different colors can be recombined into light through a process called additive color mixing. This involves mixing different wavelengths of light together to create new colors. When colored lights are combined, they interact to produce different hues based on the specific wavelengths and intensities of the light.


When passed through a second prism the light is combined to form white light once again?

This describes the process of dispersion where white light is separated into its component colors by a prism, and then combining these colors through another prism reverts it back to white light. This is due to the dispersion of light wavelengths by the prisms, which are then recombined to form white light.


What tool turns white light into colored light?

A prism is a tool that can turn white light into colored light by separating the light into its different wavelengths. This process is known as dispersion, where the different colors of white light (spectrum) are visible as they refract at different angles.


How does a prism turn colored light into white light?

White light is not a single wavelength. Our eyes perceive three major colors, and fabricate "white" from that. The speed of light in materials is a function of wavelength, and so the different wavelengths of light are bent slightly differently upon entering the material of the prism, and bent again slightly differently upon exiting. The net is the violet light is spread one way, and the red a different way, with the other colors arranged in between. So Lets Say: --------------------------- <= Ultra Violet Light>>>|Prism| |Spectrum| --------------------------- <= Infared U & I are the to rays coming out of the prism from the white light

He discovers what is known as the rainbow, by using a prism to show that light is made up of all of those colors.

How can a spectrum be recombined to form white light?

you get your spectrum by placing a prism in front of a single ray of white light, then by putting another prism opposite it the light will then go through that prism and in the end you will end up back with your single ray of light that you started with.

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.


What causes a prism to show colored light when you look into white light?

A prism works by refracting white light into its component colors, which have different wavelengths. This separation of colors occurs due to the different angles at which each color of light is bent as it passes through the prism, known as dispersion. This results in the colorful spectrum that is seen when looking at white light through a prism.


A range of colors formed when white light passes through a prism is called a?

spectrum :)


What does the spectrum consists of?

a band of colors formed when white light passes through a prism.


When light shines through a prism what can you see?

When light shines through a prism, you can see it being separated into its component colors, creating a rainbow spectrum of colors called a spectrum band. This effect is due to the refraction of light as it passes through the different angles of the prism, splitting the white light into its individual wavelengths.
