It would depend on what breaks up the light, and how much refraction occurs, but Ideally you would see light in its component colors, VIBGYOR Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red.

Why can't you see the beam of light when you shine a flashlight?
You can only see a beam of light if there are particles around it. So say there was a man standing under a street light, and the world around him was foggy, you could then see the beam of light coming from the street light. And its the same principal with any luminous object. If there's no particle around, then you can't see the beam of light.
How can we see a lazer beam?
If one shines into your eye (don't do this it is dangerous) then you would see it directly. However, a lazer beam going past you would be invisible UNLESS there was a substance in its path that could reflect parts of its light back to you (such as mist or dust).
Why can you see things outside a beam of light?
scattering
Is it true that the light you see is called visable light?
By definition, the word "visible" means something you can see. Beware: you cannot see a light ray or beam or photon as it whizzes past you. You only see those rays that enter your eye. In a dusty atmosphere you might say you can see a light beam, but what you see is that part which is scattered into your eyes.
How do you detect a laser beam?
You can see light rays with dust, flour, etc. If you turn on a flashlight, you can drop dust right where the light travels to actually see that beam of light. The same thing happens with red laser beams.
What do you see when a beam of light is broken into parts?
It would depend on what breaks up the light, and how much refraction occurs, but Ideally you would see light in its component colors, VIBGYOR Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red.

Why can you see a light from a laser beam?
If you see the beam, you are seeing the scattered light being reflected off particles in the air. Any light you actually see is no longer laser light, assuming you have sense enough not to look at it directly.

How does a prism reflects colors?
Because of the refraction of the room and the light
How can you see a beam of light from a lazer?
you can see the beam a lazer by shining the lazer at a wall with the lights turned off then spraying something of a mist over the lazer beam.

1996 Eddie Bauer left side no low beam but hi beam works?
Have you checked the bulb , it has 2 filaments in it , see if one of the wires is broken
What is a detection beam on a microscope?
A detection beam on a microscope is a beam of high energy light. The beam allows individuals to see clearly and in more detail the substance or object under the microscope.
How do you see a spectrum?
Project a beam of white [complete] light through a prism.
