What are the different forms of light?
there are many different colours of light (the light spectrum) and these are red orange yellow green blue indigo violet. (commonly remembered by the child's rhyme: Richard Of York Gave Batte In Vain) all the other colours are made up from these
The name for what happens when light is split up into the different colours of the spectrum?
This phenomenon is called dispersion. It occurs when light waves pass through a medium and are separated into different colors due to their different wavelengths.
Can light waves and sound waves interfere with each other if yes why?
No, light waves and sound waves cannot interfere with each other because they are different types of waves that travel through different mediums and have distinct properties. Light waves are electromagnetic waves that can interfere with each other, but they do not interfere with sound waves because sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium (like air, water, or solids) to travel through.
Explain the connection between light waves and color?
Colours are just light waves of different frequencies and wavelengths. Colour -Wavelength Red Light is ~700 Nano Metres Orange Light is ~ 600 Nano MetresYellow Light is ~ 570 Nano MetresGreen Light is ~ 520 Nano MetresBlue Light is ~ 490 Nano MetresViolet Light is ~ 420 Nano Metres
If a material is opaque to light is it opaque to other electromagnetic waves as well?
Not necessarily. Different materials can have different interactions with different electromagnetic waves. While some materials may be opaque to light, they could be transparent or have a different level of opacity to other types of electromagnetic waves such as microwaves or radio waves.
Are rainbows made up of matter?
no they are made up of light waves. they are energy in the form of light, which has been split up into its different wavelenghts and therefore different colours.
How are light waves different than other waves?
Light waves are waves but behave like a particle. They are also mass less.

Why do the colors split up in the spectrum?
White light can be split up into lots of different coloured light waves using a prism. We call this range of colours the visible spectrum.

Which electromagnetic waves enables colours of an object to be seen and recognized?
Visible light.

How is a light wave different than any other wave?
ligt waves are different from other ways because they have charicteristics of particles and waves. It has never been proven that it is one or the other. Youngs double slit experiment shows us that light waves diffract and interfere.
The spreading of light waves into a spectrum results from?
White light is made up of many lights which have different properties. We say that there are seven colours of light. We see a spectrum when white light is passed through a glass prism. When the various colours pass out of the air and into the prism, they are bent at different angles. This happens again when the rays leave the glass and pass back into the air. That is when we see the almost magical spectrum.
Why do the colors in the electromagnetic spectrum split up?
White light can be split up into lots of different coloured light waves using a prism. We call this range of colours the visible spectrum.
