You use a prism to split white light into it's component frequencies. The way this works is that the angle of refraction of the light through the glass of the prism is dependant on the wacelength of the light, hence different colors (ie different wavelengths) are refracted throguh different angles, 'splitting' the light into it's component colors.

Is the following sentence true or falseObjects can look different in color depending on the color of light in which they are seen?

True. Objects can appear to be different colors depending on the color of light that is illuminating them. This is due to the way the object reflects or absorbs different wavelengths of light.


What is the color of nonluminous object?

The color of a non-luminous object is determined by the way it reflects light. Objects appear to have color based on the wavelengths of light that are reflected off their surfaces and into our eyes. The color we perceive depends on the specific wavelengths of light that are reflected and absorbed by the object.


Is it true that a vacuum different color of light travel at different speeds?

In a vacuum, all colors of light travel at the same speed, which is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second (186,282 miles per second). This speed is known as the speed of light and is a universal constant that does not change based on the color of light.


Do black color reflect any color?

A true black will not reflect any light of any colour.


What is true about the light passing through a filter if the light appears green?

What is true is that the light has a green component. That's why it appears green. The green light can get through. There may have been another or other colors of light present when the light entered the filter, but because the filter is green, the other colors were absorbed. Remember, if an object is a given color, it is that color because it reflects that color and absorbs all others.
