Prisms and diffraction gratings are common optical devices that can separate white light into its constituent colors through the process of dispersion, due to the different wavelengths of light bending at different angles.
Black objects absorb all wavelengths of light, while white objects reflect all wavelengths of light. This means that black objects absorb more light and convert it into heat, making them hotter than white objects which reflect more light and absorb less heat.
Objects appear white because they reflect all wavelengths of visible light equally, giving them a neutral appearance. White objects do not absorb any specific colors of light, which is why they appear white to the human eye.
Black objects absorb more light and heat compared to white objects because they absorb a wider spectrum of light. White objects reflect most of the light that hits them, which results in less absorption and slower heating.
Objects appear white when they reflect all visible wavelengths of light equally, resulting in a combination of all colors that our eyes perceive as white. White objects do not absorb any specific wavelengths of light, making them appear colorless.
White reflects light better than black. White objects reflect most of the light that strikes them, while black objects absorb most of the light and reflect very little, making them appear dark.
so you can group the objects into certain categories.
Black objects absorb all wavelengths of light, while white objects reflect all wavelengths of light. This means that black objects absorb more light and convert it into heat, making them hotter than white objects which reflect more light and absorb less heat.
Objects appear white because they reflect all wavelengths of visible light equally, giving them a neutral appearance. White objects do not absorb any specific colors of light, which is why they appear white to the human eye.
Refraction can separate white light into the spectrum of visible light from red to violet.

A prism
When some objects get hot enough, they glow, given off a faint red light . If they get even hotter, the glow turns into white light. The objects are said to be white light
A prism is typically used to separate white light into its different colors through the process of dispersion.
Objects that reflect all colors of light appear white because they are reflecting the entire visible spectrum equally. When all colors are reflected, they combine to create white light. This is in contrast to objects that absorb all colors, which appear black because they are not reflecting any light.
White objects reflect most of the light that hits them, including sunlight, which helps keep them cooler. On the other hand, black objects absorb most of the light, converting it into heat energy, causing them to heat up more than white objects.
