The range of colors that white light can be split into is called the visible spectrum. It consists of colors such as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

What object can be used to split light into colours?

A prism is an object that can be used to split white light into its different colors by refracting the light at different angles due to their different wavelengths.


What is the spectum?

White light is composed of many colours. When these colours combine, they look white. One way of showing that white light is composed of different colours is to make white light pass through a glass prism. This splits up the white light into its constituent colours. I f you hold a screen in its path, you will see a band of colours. This band of colours is called the spectrum. Since it is visible to human eyes, it is called the visible spectrum.


How do you see black and white?

BlackAll of the colours that make the white light shine down on the black object and all of the colours that make the white light the light absorbs into the object and no light reflects.WhiteAll of the colours that make the white light shine down on the white object and the light and no light is absorbed into the object but all of the colours that make the white light are reflected into your eyes


Can you separate white light?

Yes, very easily. A ray of white light can be split be shining it through a prism (triangular glass block) or a raindrop: both create a spectrum, or rainbow, of split up colours. This works because white light is made up from different colours of light that are all waves with different wavelengths/frequencies. This means that the colours are all refracted (bent) by different amounts when they go through the prism/drop, causing the ray of white light to split up into its components.


How can you white light be split to form rainbow colours?

White light can be split into rainbow colors using a prism or diffraction grating. When white light passes through a prism, the different wavelengths of light are refracted by different amounts, resulting in the separation of colors. Each color corresponds to a different wavelength of light, with red having the longest wavelength and violet the shortest.

white light can be split into the colours of the rainbow


Is light white?

Light appears white, however it is made up of different colours, which when put together make white light. These colours can be seen if you direct light through a prism. At the right angle the light is split up into the colours (rainbow).

Why do colors combined make white?

That is not true. If you are talking about all the colours of light in the spectrum coming from white light that is true. When white light passes through a glass prism, it causes the light to split into different colours because of the different angles at which they refract.


How can you filter light to create different colors?
