White light is created by combining all the colors of the visible spectrum together in equal proportions. This can be achieved by using a light source that emits all colors simultaneously or by using a combination of colored lights. When these colors come together, they mix to form white light.

Where do the different colors come from when light is refracted trough a prism?

When white light enters a prism, it is made up of different colors with varying wavelengths. As the light passes through the prism, each color bends at a different angle due to refraction, causing them to separate. This separation is what creates the rainbow spectrum of colors that we see.


What are the primary colors of light and how are they different from the primary colors of pigment?

The primary colors of pigment are magenta, cyan, and yellow. Light is red, blue and green. You see, when you mix all of the colors of light you get white light, right? If you mix all of the colors of pigment you get a dark uglier color. I would like to add one more thing. I'm studying light and pigment in my class. Have you ever shone light into a prism and watched the colored light come back out? You can see the colors because the glass prism is denser than the air. The matter the light goes through is called the medium and if the light goes from a medium that is not very dense to one that is, the light diffracts. All of the colors of light diffract at a different angle. This is why we can see the colors. Also the reason we see color is because the wight light shines on the object and the object absorbs all of the colors except for the color the eye sees. Say you look at the grass and it appears green. The grass absorbs red, orange, yellow, blue, indigo, and purple. The grass reflects green light.

we will get black color when all the primary colors(RGB)* combine. * R-red; G-green; B-blue the combination of these primary colors in different proportions gives the different shades of colors. when all these colors combine we will get black. Depends on what you are mixing. :-) If you are mixing colored light, then mixing all colors gets you white.

The color black is created by the absence or absorption of light in an object. When light is not reflected off an object, our eyes perceive it as black. This is different from the colors of the rainbow, which are created by the reflection and refraction of light.
