What is a form of energy that travels in waves and can be seen?

Light is a form of energy that travels in waves and can be seen by the human eye. It consists of a spectrum of colors ranging from red to violet, with different wavelengths corresponding to different colors.


Which property of light seperates into different?

The property of light that separates into different colors is called dispersion. This occurs when light travels through a medium, such as a prism, causing different wavelengths of light to bend by different amounts and separate into the colors of the visible spectrum.


What color travels the slowest?

All colors of light travel at the same speed in a vacuum, which is the speed of light. However, in mediums like air or water, the speed of light differs for different colors due to their different wavelengths and refractive indexes. Blue light generally travels slower than red light in these mediums.


What happens to light when it travels through a prism?

the light travels though the prism and is reflected on an object and the light is to go though all side/faces of the prism and the light is to change colorTo make this more clear: The light goes through and separates into different colors of the rainbow.


Are the colors of light that objects absorb the colors you see?

No, the colors you see are the colors that are reflected by the object. White light is composed of several different wavelengths of energy, these different energies correspond to different visible colors. When an object absorbs the light, it absorbs its energy, the rest of the energy is reflected from the surface. That energy is what you see in the form of photons (light). So, if an object looks blue to you, that object is absorbing red light.

Why does light refract?

Because light travels at different velocities, and various colors of light also travel at different speeds in optical media.

What do the different colors in a light spectrum represent?

Different energy radiations reflecting different energy level changes.

Why do different chemicals burn different colors?

Different chemicals burn different colors because when they are heated, the electrons in the atoms become excited and jump to higher energy levels. When the electrons return to their original energy levels, they release energy in the form of light. The specific amount of energy released determines the color of the light emitted, resulting in different colors for different chemicals.


The light from Polaris travels through space in what form of energy?

Light travels as light energy. Light is a type of electromagnetic wave.


What is an explanation of how energy travels in waves to produce light and sound?

Light travels in waves, and sound travels in waves. However, sound waves and light waves are very different, and it is important not to confuse the two. Light travels in electromagnetic waves, and sound does not. Sound waves are caused by vibration.

How do white light waves act when they enter a prism?

As we know there are seven color in a light. It travels in a same velocity when it passes through air, but when it passes through prism different color travels with different velocity, as a result the emergent light is seen in seven color. Ther are; voilent,indigo,blue,green,yellow,red,orange.....
