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.


How do raindrops produce a spectrum?

Rain droplets can refract light. Different colours refract in different amounts so a spectrum is produced.


Why do colors combined make white?

That is not true. If you are talking about all the colours of light in the spectrum coming from white light that is true. When white light passes through a glass prism, it causes the light to split into different colours because of the different angles at which they refract.


How are prism and refract related?

When white light passes through a triangular prism, it refracts, meaning, the light bends. When white light refracts, it disperses (separates) into the colours it is made up of - ie. the colours of the rainbow.


When visible light passed through a second prism?

The light will continue to travel in a straight path without deviation if the second prism is not oriented at an angle to refract the light. If the second prism is oriented at an angle, the light will refract again and change direction accordingly.


Do windows refract light?

Yes, windows can refract light. When light passes through a window, the change in speed and direction of the light can cause it to bend or refract. This is why you might see rainbows or colors appear when light passes through a window.


Can opaque substances refract light?

No, opaque substances do not refract light. Refraction occurs when light passes through a transparent medium and changes speed, causing the light to bend. Opaque substances do not allow light to pass through them, so there is no refraction.


Which color of light enters the observers eye from rain drops higher up?

Colours which refract less.


How does light refract when it travels?

Through cold air


What can be used to refract white light?

A prism can be used to refract white light into its component colors through the process of dispersion. The different colors of light bend at different angles as they pass through the prism, causing them to separate and form a spectrum.


Does the prism change the color of the light?

A prism will split white light into its constituent colours (the colours of the rainbow). "White light" is the light we see around us i.e. natural light from the sun. This light is made up of all the colours in the visible spectrum


Do lenses transmit and refract light?

Yes, lenses transmit light by allowing it to pass through, and they refract light by bending it as it travels through the lens. This bending of light is what allows lenses to focus and magnify images.
