Can white light be broken up into various colours of light?
Yes visible light is part of what is called the electromagnetic spectrum. White light is actually all of the visible spectrum being seen. This is demonstrated by white light passing through a prism and being broken up into its component colors, such as a rainbow.
What is meant by white light?
White light is the term used to cover the normal visible (for humans) spectrum, which includes the colors ranging from red to violet. When combined in normal sunlight the human eye does not see separate colors, so the light is called 'white'.
How do colors of light differ from each other?
they differ by the length of the wave. And by the object that they hit.
How can visible liht be divided to show the various colors?
light
Visible light can be separated into different colors by using a?
Separating light into various colors produces a spectrum or rainbow.
Can visible light be separated into various colors to form a x-ray picture?
not with the current technology :(
The range of colors of visible light is called the?
visible spectrum
What type of light gives off all of the colors on the visible spectrum?
White light contains all of the colors in the visible spectrum. Black contains none of these colors.
Can we see all the colors or are ther more?
the colors which we can see are called visible colors that appear in visible light spectrum VIBGYOR these are the only visible colors although we can see different colors by the combination of these colors also whit is a visible color
When visible light is separated into various colors of the visible spectrum what is formed?
A rainbow? I mean you are seeing the entire visible spectrum... Rainbow isn't the most scientific word but it's something...rainbow is refracted light so yea final answer... Rainbow
What can cause all colors of visible light to be seen in a rainbow?
water separate white light into visible light
