In an ordinary prison, whatever the light struck including dust particles in the air or other objects in the path of the light, would cause it to scatter and provide illumination, some of which might be enjoyed by the prisoner. Prisons are often illuminated with artificial light and/or light from secure windows or external venting, and sometimes have external courtyards for exercise open to the sky and natural light.

If we're talking about a "prism" here, then, white light at a favorable angle would usually get separated into its component colors of our familiar rainbow spectrum, with blue being scattered the most and red the least. If you have a look at the Pink Floyd "Dark Side.." album cover, will give you a good rough idea of what will happen to white light.

When a strong beam of light is passed through a colloidal solution, then scattering of light is absorbed.

What happens to white light when passed thorugh a prism?

White light is separated into its component colors when passed through a prism. This separation is due to the different wavelengths of light refracting at different angles as they pass through the prism, resulting in a spectrum of colors, known as a rainbow.


Can you split white light by passing through it through a prison?

White light cannot be split by passing it through a prism in a prison. A prism can split white light into its component colors due to refraction, which separates the light based on its wavelengths. However, a prison is a correctional facility for people, not a scientific instrument for light manipulation.


What happens when a yellow light is passed through a green glass prism?

When a yellow light is passed through a green glass prism, the prism will refract the light, separating it into its component colors. In this case, the green glass will only allow green and yellow wavelengths to pass through, causing the yellow light to refract at a different angle than green light.


What happens when Blue light is passed through green?

When blue light is passed through a green filter, the filter only allows green light to pass through while absorbing or blocking the blue light. As a result, the blue light is either partially or completely removed, depending on the filter's properties and the intensity of the blue light.


What is light passed through a polarized filter?

Such light is said to be polarized.


What affects the color of light?

if the light passes through something that is coloured the light changes colour to the colour that it passed through


What happens to the colours of light when they are passed through a red filter?

The reason that particular device is called a "redfilter" is that only red light cansurvive the trip through it and come out the other side, so that it appears red.Any other color of light is absorbed in the material that the filter is made of, andnever comes out.
