WHEN AN UN POLARISED LIGHT IS MADE TO FALL ON A NICOL PRISM.(NICOL PRISM MADE UP OF CALCITE CRYSTA)if the light is split up into two Waves is o-ray and other is e-ray when we observe that the light is polarised because .the ordinary ray is after falling it will split into two rays one ray has only arrow component .other ray having only dot component this way we can say that Nicol prism acts as polarise

What can separate white light into individual color?

A prism


You can use this object to split light into its colours?

A prism can be used to split light into its colors through a process called dispersion. When light enters the prism, it bends at different angles depending on its wavelength, causing the colors to separate based on their individual wavelengths.


What can you use to see all the different colors in white light?

You can use a prism to see all the different colors in white light.


How you will use two identical prisms so that a narrow beam of white light incident on one prism emerges out of second prism as white light . draw the diagram?

To ensure that a narrow beam of white light emerging from one identical prism exits from the second prism as white light, position the prisms such that the beam enters the first prism at an angle. The first prism will refract the light, separating it into its component colors. Then, align the second prism such that the emerging beam enters it at the appropriate angle to recombine the colors back into white light. Unfortunately, I can't draw diagrams, but you can visualize two prisms arranged in a straight line, with the first prism receiving the light beam and the second prism oriented to receive the refracted light from the first.


What tool could help me know witch colors of light are emitted by my flashlight?

You could shine your flashlight through a prism- the prism will split the light into all the colors it was formed from. If your flashlight gives off standard white light, you don't have to use a prism because all white light is formed from all the colors of the rainbow.
