What are 2 sources of white light?

A flourescent light or the sun ( There are many more)


What forms white light and how is it produced?

White light is a combination of all the colors in the visible spectrum. It is produced when light from a source, such as the sun or a light bulb, contains a mix of different wavelengths of light. When these wavelengths combine, they create the perception of white light to our eyes.


Is white all color?

Yes whit is a color!!!!! The answer depends whether you are asking about a white light source, or a white surface. Let's hope you are asking about a white surface, because that's a lot easier to explain. A white surface is a surface that reflects all colors of light equally. There, that was easy. A white light source is a whole other topic. It depends now, on what you mean by "white." One definition of white light would be light that contains all visible wavelengths (colors) in equal proportions (for some definition of "equal".) Another definition, would be a light source that a person would perceive as white when it is shined on a white surface. It gets tricky because a light source need not be a full-spectrum light source in order to achieve that effect. For example, most "compact fluorescent" light bulbs, although the look white to your eyes, have a spectrum that consists of three relatively narrow peaks of red, green, and blue. A white LED light, on the other hand, has a strong, narrow blue peak, and then a broad band of yellowish light.


A red light source and a green light source shine on a white screen what color will the screen be explain answer?

The white screen will appear yellow because when red light and green light shine on a white surface, they combine to create yellow light. This is because red and green are complementary colors that combine to create yellow.


How can I create white light?

To create white light, you can combine all the colors of the visible spectrum together. This can be achieved by using a white light source, such as a light bulb or the sun, which emits a combination of all colors. Alternatively, you can use a prism to break white light into its component colors and then recombine them to create white light again.

No


A red light source and a green light source shine on a white screen what will the color be?

Yellow. The light is 'additive' and not 'subtractive' like printed inks.


A red light source and a green light source shine on a white screen what color will the screen be?

If the screen is actually white, it will absorb all light and appear black to your eye. If the screen appears white in normal light, all light will be reflected resulting in the combination of green and red (brown/yellow).

A white light is a combination of what?

White light is what we see when light of all (or most) of the frequencies in the visible spectrum are emitted together from the same source. It is the combination of every visible light wave.

White for light source or black (actually dirty brownish) for reflected light. White


What forms white light and how is it created?

White light is a combination of all the colors in the visible spectrum. It is created when light from the sun or a light source like a light bulb passes through a prism or diffraction grating, which separates the different colors of light. The colors then combine to form white light.


How does light change direction through a prism?

it changes to colours of the rainbow, starting with a white light and gradually is altered due to the position of the light source and to violet in which the light fades to the back ground colour; and white light
