A prism or a diffraction grating would do it.

Why do photons of white light have different colours?

Photons of light have different colors because they have different energies resulting in different wavelengths. There is no such thing as white light - it is a mixture of all the various wavelengths - red, blue, green, etc. - and we perceive it as white.


What of light determines its color?

The wavelength of light determines its color. Different wavelengths of light create different colors that are perceived by our eyes. Shorter wavelengths correspond to colors towards the blue end of the spectrum, while longer wavelengths correspond to colors towards the red end of the spectrum.


Is light from the sun the same thing as light from a light bulb?

Both sunlight and light from a light bulb are forms of electromagnetic radiation, but they are generated differently. Sunlight is natural light produced by the sun through nuclear fusion, while light from a light bulb is artificial and generated through electricity passing through a filament or gas. Both sources emit light that consists of a spectrum of wavelengths, but they may have different intensities and qualities.


What colour of light is produced when blue and green are added together?

magenta?? not completeley sure - did it a while back. when blue and green is added together i thing yellow colour is produced


Will a infrared led kept in sunlight glow or not?

There is no such thing as and an infra-red LED. Nor will an any LED glow without a power source. That power may come from a solar cell but an LED (Light Emitting Diode) emits light it does not collect light energy.

Why gamma rays travel as fast as the speed of light?

Because gamma rays are exactly the same thing that light is, only with shorter wavelengths.


Are eagles able to see gamma ray light wavelengths?

No living thing can "see" (or otherwise sense) gamma rays.


Is there such a thing as a perfectly white light?

No. White light is a mixture of various colors.

What color is a substance?

The color of a substance depends on how it interacts with light. Substances can appear different colors based on the specific wavelengths of light they absorb and reflect. For example, a substance that absorbs all wavelengths of light appears black, while a substance that reflects all wavelengths appears white.


Orange warning light with lines either side on vauxhall vectra?

most probaily( breaks ) some thing to do with worn pads or discs


What is this thing called iras?

The Infrared Astronomical Satellite was the first-ever space-based observatory to perform a survey of the entire sky at infrared wavelengths. It uses infrared light.


What is a speed of a vacuum of wavelenths?

There cannot be any such thing as a vacuum of wavelengths!


What is the Earth's atmosphere most transparent to?

The Earth's atmosphere is most transparent to visible light, particularly within the wavelengths of red, green, and blue. These wavelengths pass through the atmosphere with minimal absorption or scattering, allowing us to see objects clearly.


Does the color of a laser affect the velocity of the light wave projected by the laser?

ummm, no. that's probably the dumbest thing Ive ever heard.Lasers use light rays of set wavelengths so I guess your answer is the dumbest answer I've ever heard.


When green light is absorbed at 525 NM what is seen?

That depends on what other wavelengths of light are present. You see whatever is left, after the 525-nm green is subtracted from it. If 525-nm green is the only thing there was to begin with, then nothing (black) is seen.
