If you pass white light through a prism, it will separate out into the individual colors of the visible spectrum.
White light is composed of many colours. When these colours combine, they look white. One way of showing that white light is composed of different colours is to make white light pass through a glass prism. This splits up the white light into its constituent colours. I f you hold a screen in its path, you will see a band of colours. This band of colours is called the spectrum. Since it is visible to human eyes, it is called the visible spectrum.
We see a spectrum of different colors because different colors correspond to different wavelengths of light. When white light passes through a prism or raindrop, it separates into its component colors due to refraction and dispersion. Each color has a unique wavelength, and this separation creates the rainbow of colors we see.
White light is made up of many lights which have different properties. We say that there are seven colours of light. We see a spectrum when white light is passed through a glass prism. When the various colours pass out of the air and into the prism, they are bent at different angles. This happens again when the rays leave the glass and pass back into the air. That is when we see the almost magical spectrum.
The range of colors is called a spectrum. This refers to the full range of colors that can be produced by the visible light spectrum, typically ranging from red to violet.
Pink is not a color found in the spectrum, as it is a combination of red and white light. Brown is also not found in the spectrum, as it is a combination of multiple colors and does not have a distinct wavelength.
Here is an example sentence with the word "spectrum":The colours that we are able to see are actually a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
There are colors at both ends of the light spectrum that human eyes can not see.
This Q&A is about light colours. Paint colours are substances, and different from light colours.If you hold up a glass prism to a beam of sunlight, you'll see the light form a rainbow of colours. This is called the spectrum. It consists of all the colours that make up "white" light.Although you might be able to see seven colours in the spectrum, the white light is really made up of three basic colours. These are called the primary colours because they cannot be made from any other colours. The primary colours of light are red-orange, green, and violet blue. The other colours you see in spectrums or rainbows are made by a mixture of the primary colours.When the naked eye looks at the spectrum, it can see three mixed colours, which are called secondary colours. The secondary colours in light are green-blue, yellow, and magenta-red. You can produce these colours by mixing the primary colours in certain combinations.
we see a spectum of colours because we cant make white light that easily and we need the different colours to make white light!i hope i helped you answer the question
It absorbs all colours of the spectrum but yellow which is refelcted It absorbs all colours of the spectrum but yellow which is refelcted
The sunlight hits the glass of water and then the light disperses out as a spectrum of colour (rainbow). This is because sunlight is white light and white light contains the 7 colours of the rainbow. When it hits the glass the colours refract and disperse out as the spectrum of colours, which we see as a rainbow.

Its a spectrum
The spectrum of colours from the sun is so-called heat radiation, basically black body radiation such as you would get from, say, molten iron, or any other material at a temperature of 5000-6000 deg C, and not principally due to internal transitions of electrons between atomic energy levels. The spectrum of colours you see in a rainbow is not a discrete wavelength spectrum.

reddish
the colours at the beginning of the spectrum are absorbed by our atmosphere because they have shorter wave lenghts. this makes those colours less distinct then the colours at the other end of the spectrum.
