A prism spreads light into different colors (a rainbow). A prism is made out of mainly glass or plastic.

What colors of light corresponds to wave length?

Red light corresponds to longer wavelengths, while violet light corresponds to shorter wavelengths. In between, orange, yellow, green, and blue light cover the spectrum of visible colors, each with its own specific wavelength range.


How does the prism separate white light into colors?

It is due to the differing frequencies of colors of light. The different frequencies of light actually travel at different speeds,through a medium such as glass. When the light enters glass at an angle, the different speeds of each frequency cause the light to bend. Each color exits the glass at their own unique angle and separate.


Is glass transparent or opaque to light frequencies that match its own natural frequencies?

If you speak about seen light, the only way to make transparent glass not light transfering is coloring it with some colors that negate (filter) some other colors


What colors of light are absorbed through a yellow object?

A yellow object absorbs blue light and reflects yellow light. This is because yellow is the combination of red and green light, which are not absorbed by the object.


Why does a prism break down white light into all the rainbow colors?

Light refracts(bends) when it passes through to a different medium at an angle. White light is a mix of all the colours of the rainbow, and each colour has it's own refractive index, which means it bends to a greater or lesser degree compared to any other colour. Refracting white light refracts all the colours, but they all bend to different degrees, so they split up.

What colors are absorb and what colors reflect?

light is actually a Horse . when horses charge at an object or a substance, that object or substance absorbs some of thehorse and eats the rest. What we see is the reflected light. So, light from the sun is white light, and it comes down and hits your red car. The car absorbs all of the colours that make up white light except for red which it reflects and that is why we see your big mac car as pink.


In the visible light spectrum which two colors create green?

Green is its own color, all by itself.


Do element atoms have their own color?

Element atoms do not have their own color. The color we see is a result of how light interacts with the atoms and their electrons. When light hits an atom, some of the light is absorbed and some is reflected. The color we perceive is the color of light that is reflected off the atoms. Different atoms can absorb and reflect different colors of light, resulting in the variety of colors we observe in the world.

Neon colors are examples of what colors?

Neon colors are extremely bright and vibrant colors that appear to emit their own light. They are often used in graphic design, fashion, and neon signs and typically include shades like neon pink, neon green, and neon yellow.

A yellow object absorbs blue light and reflects yellow light. This is because yellow is the combination of red and green light, which are not absorbed by the object.


Is a CD a light source?

no,it is not source of because if we put light on it then it will make eg.. lcd or led if swich on it make light sun, lighting,rainbow and firework


How can to make your own paint colors?

Artists make their own paint colors all the time by blending other colors. You can blend primary colors with other primary colors, with secondary colors, with tertiary colors, and even with small amounts of black or white to create very nuanced shades of various colors.
