How does light make colors?

Answer 1

White Light never splits into 7 colors .White light is not at all splitting into any other color.I am not joking ,I am really serious about it.To prove it... do the following experiment and tell me whether I am wrong or right........

Make a 1 m.m. thick line on your computer screen and see this line through a Prism.You will find that the Black line has split into five colors i.e. Primary Cyan,Primary Light Greyabove,Primary Magenta in the Middle and Primary Light Orange and Primary Yellowbelow the magenta (please keep the prism inverted..means apex downwards and base upwards otherwise you will get yellow above and Cyan below the magenta )

I consider these five colors, eg. PrimaryCyan,Primary Light Grey ,PrimaryMagenta,Primary light Orange And PrimaryYellow ,as Primary colors as they are not splitting further when seen through Prism.

Red , Blue and Green are Secondary colors because when these three colors are seen through prism they split into its two or more Primary components (Colors ).Draw Red , Blue and Green line on your computer screen and see them through prism...Red will split into Light Grey ,Primary Magenta,light Orange and Primary Yellow ,

Blue will split into Primary Cyan,light Grey , And Primary Magenta and Green will split into Primary Cyan ,Light Orange and Primary Yellow

Now draw a Black block(5 cms x 5 cms) on your computer screen and see this block through prism.You will find Primary Cyan ,Deep Cyan, Ink Blue and DeepViolet at the upper edge of the black block and Post Office Red ,Deep Orange , Orangish Yellow and Primary Yellow at the lower edge of the Black block.Here I would like to tell you that a block measuring 5 cms thick block has 1mm thick 50 lines (50 x 1mm = 50mm = 5cms) .As you have seen that 1mm thick line splits into 5 primary color (Primary Cyan ,Primary Light Grey,Primary Magenta ,Primary Light Orange and Primary Yellow ) thus we are getting Four colors in the upper the edges of the Black block due to the overlapping of these 5 Primary colors of 1mm thick lines(when Primary Cyan and Primary Light Grey are overlapped it creates Deep Cyan color and when Deep Cyan is overlapped by Magenta it creates Ink Blue ,and when Ink Blue is overlapping Primary Light Orange it gives Deep Voilet in the upper margin of the black block and same thing is happening in the lower edge means when yellow is overlapped with Pimary Light Orange it forms Deep Yellow,and Deep Yellow overlaps Primary Magenta it ceates Deep Orange and when Deep Orange overlaps Primary Light Grey it forms Post Office Red ).Now we have 8 colors in total( 4 in the upper edge and 4 in the lower edge ).

Now draw a Another Black block below the previous Black block.The distance between the two blocks should be atleast 1 cm . Now see these two Black blocks through Prism.You will see Green color between the two black blocks due to the overlapping of Primary Cyan of lower block and Primay Yellow of upper block and thus you see the seven colors ( Now above mentioned 8 colors becomes 7 colors due to overlapping of two colors ) of rainbow or spectrum eg. Post OfficeRed , Deep Orange , DeepYellow(in the lower margin of upper block) Green (in the middle of the 2 black blocks ) then Deep Cyan , Ink Blue and Deep Voilet (seen in the upper margin of the lower black block).Newton wrongly used Blue instead of DeepCyan and Indigo instead of Ink Blue(ROYGBIV ).When Newton used a slit through which he passed the white light at that time also the upper edge of the slit was working like the lower edge of the upper block and the lower edge of the slit was working like the upper edge of the lower black block.Green was formed due to the overlapping of the Primary Yellow and Primary Cyan formed at the two edges of the slit (or you can say that the gap between two black blocks is working just like a slit and the white color of the gap in the computer screen is just working like the white light .Everyone Knows that Newton passed a beam of white light through a slit and then this beam of light was seen through a prism and 7 colors of Rainbow was obtained.

It is unfortunate..... from that time (of Newton) onwards everyone is saying that white light splits into 7 colors when seen through a prism . And on the basis of Newton's experiment still scientist are saying that the White light is made up of 7 colors and because of this reason White light is spltting into 7 colors when seen through prism .

With our experiment we can say with full confidence that White Light is not at all splitting ,it is the Black which is splitting.

If you have any query regarding Rainbow , Spectrum and color theory you can contact me. I am sure, I can resolve all the queries regarding the Color .

P.S. : When we see the sunlight through prism at that time also we get Rainbow colors .Here I would like to tell you that around the sun also you have black / dark sky and the black margin of the sky around sun is splitting into rainbow colors. Rainbow in the sky is seen during rainy days only because water droplets of rains are making an artificial Prism and when sunlight is passing through this artificial prism of water droplets ,creating the rainbow in the sky (just opposite side of the sun )

Thus I conclude that primary colors like White , Primary Cyan ,Primary Light Grey,Primary Magenta,Primary Light Pink and Primary Yellow are not at all splitting while the rest of all the other colors are splitting into its component colors when seen through Prism.

Answer 2

White light, or sun light, can be split by shining it through a glass or plastic prism. When the light passes through, it gets split into 7 colours: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet. The light splits because it is separated and bent by the prism. Here is a link to what it would look like: http://www.dkimages.com/discover/previews/852/20224189.JPG You can do an eperiment yourself too if you have a lazer, one of the ones you can buy from Focus, etc., and shine it through one of those paper weighs ... It should work but if it doesn't than shine the lazer through a pair of glasses but leave a little distance.

Answer 3

This depends on the way you are looking at colours. If you look at something red, it is because the object absorbs all the other colours and reflects red. This is one way of separating red from the others.

One object used to separate colours is a prism where white light (a mixture of colours) hits at an angle and one colour is refracted more than the others. This can be done in many ways, even with a piece or ordinary glass or by oil spots floating on water.

Rainbows result from the prism effect of small droplets of water in the air.

Answer 4

Light makes colors by interacting with objects and determining which wavelengths are absorbed and which are reflected. The color we see is the result of the reflected wavelengths entering our eyes and being interpreted by our brain as a specific color. Different materials absorb and reflect light in varying ways, which is why we see a variety of colors in the world around us.

Answer 5

well when light hits water it causes a rainbow which in this case makes light

Answer 6

A prism can be used to break light up into its constituent spectral colors (the colors of the rainbow).

Answer 7

because it refarts the light. in easier form it bends the light

Answer 8

light is spilt up in the spectrum

Answer 9

A rainbow or spectrum.
