White light is made up of many lights which have different properties. We say that there are seven colours of light. We see a spectrum when white light is passed through a glass prism. When the various colours pass out of the air and into the prism, they are bent at different angles. This happens again when the rays leave the glass and pass back into the air. That is when we see the almost magical spectrum.
What else can I help you with?
How does a diffraction grating affect white light?
A diffraction grating separates white light into its component colors by bending and spreading the light waves. This creates a spectrum of colors, similar to a rainbow.
What is the diffraction of light waves?
Diffraction of light waves is the bending of light as it passes around obstacles or through small openings. It results in the spreading of light waves and the formation of interference patterns. Diffraction is a fundamental property of waves and is used in various applications such as microscopy and spectroscopy.
How are light waves related to the electromagnetic spectrum?
Light waves are a type of electromagnetic wave that falls within the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum includes all types of electromagnetic waves, ranging from radio waves to gamma rays. Light waves are a specific range of electromagnetic waves that are visible to the human eye.
What waves are on the electromagnetic spectrum?
The waves on the electromagnetic spectrum include radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light, ultraviolet waves, X-rays, and gamma rays.
Which type of light does the electromagnetic spectrum NOT contain?
The electromagnetic spectrum does not contain sound waves. It includes a range of electromagnetic waves, from radio waves to gamma rays, but does not include mechanical waves like sound.

Visible light waves are part of the?
electromagnetic spectrum.
What are visible light waves are part of?
The electromagnetic spectrum
What kind of scientist studies the spectrum?
If you are meaning the light spectrum, Physicists study all forms of light and waves and what they do.
The only waves that are in the spectrum and in the middle are called what?
The waves that fall in the middle of the electromagnetic spectrum are called visible light waves. These waves are the only ones that are visible to the human eye.
What color's light waves have the highest frequency?
Violet light waves have the highest frequency among the visible light spectrum.
In the light spectrum are red waves shorter than blue waves?
Red light waves are almost double the length of blue or violet light waves. Wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency; red light has a higher frequency than blue light.
What is next to ultraviolet in the light spectrum?
Starting at ultraviolet, longer waves are waves of visible violet light, and shorter waves are X-rays.
