White is the absence of all color and black is the precense of all color. So the combo of all colors is black.

Is the following sentence true or false white light is made up of a mixture of many colors of light?

True. White light is made up of a combination of all colors of light in the visible spectrum, including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. When these colors are combined together, they create white light.


Is it true or false that the separation of white light into its component colors produces what is called a mixture?

False. The separation of white light into its component colors does not produce a mixture. It produces a spectrum of colors, known as a rainbow or a spectrum.


Do the color black and white are color?

This is a very subjective question... but my views: Some of the very popular debates state that Black is NOT a color, as any color would reflect some wavelength of light, and thus creating the hue. Black absorbs the light completely, reflecting none of it. =Black is absence of color, thus not a color.= White, on the other hand, reflects the full spectrum of light, hence creating a white hue. =White is presence of all the colors, thus it is a color.= at risk of adding fuel to the fire it depends on use and context. generally white and black are considered shades or tones but in most art worlds a true color is a color that can not be made on its own and can be used with other true colors to develop the who visual range. as such "most" schools of art now recognise 5 primary colors. these colors being "red, yellow, blue, black and white"


True or False When a prism refracts light it separates out the various colors based on their wavelength?

True. When a prism refracts light, it causes the different colors of light to bend by different amounts due to their different wavelengths. This bending effect, known as dispersion, results in the separation of the colors of light creating a spectrum.


What kind of light do you use for splitting light in to its true color?

You use a prism to split white light into it's component frequencies. The way this works is that the angle of refraction of the light through the glass of the prism is dependant on the wacelength of the light, hence different colors (ie different wavelengths) are refracted throguh different angles, 'splitting' the light into it's component colors.

Why are black and white not true colors?

When using pigments, as in paint, black is all the colors mixed together, and white is a lack of color. So in that sense, black can be a "true" color. If you are studying the colors in light, black is simply the absence of light, while white is the combination of all colors.

Are black and white real colours?

No, not really. white is the complete absence of color (red green blue) and black is the combination of all colors. While in art you are taught thar red yellow and blue are the primary colors, in physics you are taught that they are really red green and blue. The combination of these colors create magenta, cyan, and purple. The combination of all three colors is black and absence of all three colors is white.

Which colors such as black white and gray have no true color pigment?

Black, white, and gray are considered achromatic colors, as they do not contain any true color pigment. Black is the absence of color, white is a mix of all colors, and gray is a neutral color produced by mixing black and white.


What colors are not really colors?

Black and white are often considered not "true" colors because they do not have specific wavelengths on the visible light spectrum like other colors. Instead, black is the absence of light, while white is a combination of all colors.

Is it true that black and whit is a color?

Technically, black and white are not colors in the traditional sense, as they do not have specific wavelengths like colors do. Black absorbs all wavelengths and white reflects all wavelengths. However, in art and design, black and white are often referred to as colors for simplicity.
