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
What is the name of the device that breaks up white light into its colours?
The device is called a prism. It refracts white light into its component colors by bending each color at a slightly different angle as it passes through the prism, resulting in a spectrum of colors being produced.
Why does white light get splits into 7 colours when passed trough a prism?
White light is composed of different colors with varying wavelengths. When white light enters a prism, the different colors refract at different angles due to their different wavelengths, causing them to spread out and create a spectrum of colors. This phenomenon is known as dispersion.
Which object helps people understand what makes up white light?
A triangular prism. It splits a beam of white light into its constituent colours.
What happens when light is shone at a prism?
It splits into the colours that make it up, so white light makes a rainbow, and different colours produce different results.

When light is spilt up into the colors of the rainbow its called?
refraction, do this by shining white light (all the colours) through a prism which then splits the wave lengths into sperate paths showing all the colours of white light. So white light has a specific frequency, shine it through a prism and you split the frequency up into smaller bits hence the colours of light.
What is the name of the device used to split up white light into its various colours?
prism

What devise can split white light into colours?
The device is a glass prism. A cross-section of a prism is an isosceles triangle.
How does white light splits?
splits into other coloured light beams

When white light is refracted through a prism different colors emerge. Where do the different colors come from?
Type your answer here... OK. White light is made of the colours of the spectrum (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet - these are the same as the colours of the rainbow). The reason you see these colours instead of wwhite when you shine white light through a prism is that the prism "bends" the light - which splits it into the colours of the spectrum. Red light is the longest, so it is bent the least, and Violet is the shortest - so it is bent the most. This is also how rainbows are made - the rain droplets act as prisms to disperse (split) the light into the colours of the spectrum.

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).
