How do you see black and white?

BlackAll of the colours that make the white light shine down on the black object and all of the colours that make the white light the light absorbs into the object and no light reflects.WhiteAll of the colours that make the white light shine down on the white object and the light and no light is absorbed into the object but all of the colours that make the white light are reflected into your eyes


Is white light monochromatic light?

No exactly the contrary, white light is made up of light of all the colours of the rainbow. And you need to take that literally. The rainbow has these colours because rain acts as a prism and breaks the white light of the sun apart in the colours it is made up of. Because monochromatic means 'of one and the same colour', white light is not monochromatic. LASER light is always monochromatic: all particles have exactly the same wavelength (colour)


What do you call the range of colours that white light can be split in to?

The range of colors that white light can be split into is called the visible spectrum. It consists of colors such as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.


Who discovered white light contains all colours?

Sir Isaac Newton discovered that white light contains all colors when he used a prism to split light into its component colors in the 17th century. This discovery led to the development of the concept of the visible spectrum.


What is monochromatic light compared to white light?

Monochromatic light consists of a single wavelength or color, while white light is a combination of all visible wavelengths. White light appears colorless to the human eye, while monochromatic light appears as a distinct color.

Is white light really white in color?

ans it really consists of all the colours of the rainbow (and some more). That's what a rainbow is: white light being split up as it travels through water in the air.

What did Isaac Newton discovered about light?

Isaac Newton discovered that light is composed of a spectrum of colors when passed through a prism, and that white light is actually made up of different colors. He also proposed that light behaves as particles called "corpuscles" or photons.


Is light white?

Light appears white, however it is made up of different colours, which when put together make white light. These colours can be seen if you direct light through a prism. At the right angle the light is split up into the colours (rainbow).

What is the break up of white light into seven colours?

It is the refraction of white light being shone through a glass prism, or a raindrop, that separates the white light into the colours of the rainbow.


What is the Visible?

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.
