Light appears as white to our eyes, but it is actually made up of a spectrum of colors. This is due to the phenomenon of refraction where light waves of different frequencies separate into different colors when passing through a prism. Each color corresponds to a different wavelength or frequency of light, resulting in the seven colors of the visible spectrum: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

What different colors is white light made up of?
White light is made up of all the colors of the visible spectrum, including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. This is why white light can be separated into its component colors using a prism.
Is white light monochromatic light?
No exactly the contrary, white light is made up of light of all the colours of the rainbow. And you need to take that literally. The rainbow has these colours because rain acts as a prism and breaks the white light of the sun apart in the colours it is made up of. Because monochromatic means 'of one and the same colour', white light is not monochromatic. LASER light is always monochromatic: all particles have exactly the same wavelength (colour)
How do we see different colors in a prism when it reflects?
this is called refraction. light is made up of seven different colours as seen in a rainbow. a glass prism breaks the light up into its base colours. this is the same principle a rainbow is made by only rainbow uses watere droplets to refract the light.
Is light made out of colours?
Light is made up of different colors that are a part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Different colors have different wavelengths, and when white light is separated, it can be seen as a spectrum of colors ranging from red to violet.
White light is made up of how many colours?
White light is made up of all the colors in the visible spectrum, which are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. It can be divided into these colors through a process called dispersion, as demonstrated by a prism.
What colors of light made up white light?
Red, green and blue. These colours make up every other colour, though, so you could say that light is made up of all colours.
How can we split up white light into the seven colours of the spectrum?
Use a prism.
Is light white?
Light appears white, however it is made up of different colours, which when put together make white light. These colours can be seen if you direct light through a prism. At the right angle the light is split up into the colours (rainbow).
What is the break up of white light into seven colours?
It is the refraction of white light being shone through a glass prism, or a raindrop, that separates the white light into the colours of the rainbow.
What is the color of light?
Red.
What are primary colors of light?
This Q&A is about light colours. Paint colours are substances, and different from light colours.If you hold up a glass prism to a beam of sunlight, you'll see the light form a rainbow of colours. This is called the spectrum. It consists of all the colours that make up "white" light.Although you might be able to see seven colours in the spectrum, the white light is really made up of three basic colours. These are called the primary colours because they cannot be made from any other colours. The primary colours of light are red-orange, green, and violet blue. The other colours you see in spectrums or rainbows are made by a mixture of the primary colours.When the naked eye looks at the spectrum, it can see three mixed colours, which are called secondary colours. The secondary colours in light are green-blue, yellow, and magenta-red. You can produce these colours by mixing the primary colours in certain combinations.
Who discovered that light is made up of 7 colours?
The discovery that light is made up of seven colors was credited to Sir Isaac Newton. He demonstrated this by passing sunlight through a prism and observing the separation of the light into its component colors, creating a rainbow spectrum.
What color can absorb all other seven colors of Sun?
white light is made up of all the colours so that means white light can absorb all the colours
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.
What did newton prove with the prism?
That white light is made up of all the colours of light mixed together.
Why is the sun made up of seven different colours?
It isn't. It emits every wavelength there is. The seven colors are a human invention.
Why are there seven colours in a rainbow?
Because "color" is an interaction between the visible light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum and the light sensitive parts of our eyes. Our eyes have evolved 4 different receptors--one each for Red, Green and Blue and another for violet. A rainbow actually contains millions of colors, but we have evolved to categorize most of the wavelengths in the visible spectrum as one of the primary colors and their combinations.
