When you shine white light through a prism, at the correct angle wherever the prism is pointing you will see the spectrum, this is because when the light shines through the angles of the prism, the white light will become dispersed through the angles so that the white light is streched out to reveal what the spectrum is made up of =D
What else can I help you with?
What does a prism show about sunlight?
A prism breaks sunlight into its component colors, revealing the phenomenon of dispersion. This occurs because different colors of light have different wavelengths and are bent by different amounts as they pass through the prism, resulting in the separation of the colors.
Why can white light refract to show all the colours of the rainbow?
White light is composed of a spectrum of colors with different wavelengths. When white light enters a medium like glass or water, each color refracts at a slightly different angle due to their different wavelengths. This separation of colors produces the spectrum of colors we see in a rainbow.
Why does a rainbow show through a glass full water and a mirror inside?
When light passes through the water in the glass, it gets refracted (bent) and dispersed into its different colors due to the difference in refractive index of each color. When this dispersed light hits the mirror, it reflects back through the water, creating the appearance of a rainbow. The water in the glass acts as a prism, separating the light into its component colors.
Why does a glass prism show so many colours when light passed through it?
A glass prism shows many colors when light passes through it because white light is made up of different colors with different wavelengths. When light enters the prism, it undergoes refraction, causing each color in the light spectrum to bend at slightly different angles due to their different wavelengths, resulting in the separation of colors we see as a rainbow.
A tool used to separate white light and all of its colors?
prism Though not the only thing that can cause light to show its true colors. A CD, when held at various angles to the light a pattern forms on the CD showing the familiar rainbow color scheme (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet or Roy G. Biv). After a rain storm our atmosphere acts like a prism and that is why we get rainbows. I have also seen the trademark rainbow in a puddle and on my windshield,
Is sunlight can show different colors?
FALSE
How do colors of the rainbow mix to show a spectram?
tell me the answer plz
Light produced by mixing all colors of the visible spectrum?
White light is produced by mixing all colors of the visible spectrum together. This can be seen in a rainbow where sunlight is refracted and dispersed to show the different colors. This phenomenon is known as color addition.
How did a rainbow start?
Theres no actual "start time" it just happened. I think it "started" during Niah's Arc when there was a rainbow and a dove came and brought a piece of land (grass) to show the earth was mo longer flooded.
What colors show up through prisms?
Red,orange,yellow, green, blue etc... the colors of the rainbow . Roygbiv :)
Why don't rainbows show the color pink?
When a ray of white sunlight hits drops of water (also in the forms of spray and mist), it bends and breaks the sun ray into into different colors. These colors span the entire spectrum of colors and because the spectrum of colors is always the same and always in the same order, rainbows are always the same color. The order of the colors are: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
Why is a rainbow only show when it rains?
The same reason there are rainbows in the sky: the rain acts as a prism, which splits the sunlight into it's different colors. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_(optics)
Why do you have rainbows?
Rainbows are caused by sunlight being refracted, or bent, as it passes through raindrops in the air. This refraction separates the sunlight into its different colors, creating the arc of colors we see in a rainbow.
What did isaac newtons glass prisms show?
white light is made of all colors of the rainbow.
What is an example of an object that breaks white light to show different colors (like a rainbow)?
That's called - a prism.
What does a prism show about sunlight?
A prism breaks sunlight into its component colors, revealing the phenomenon of dispersion. This occurs because different colors of light have different wavelengths and are bent by different amounts as they pass through the prism, resulting in the separation of the colors.
When you shine sunlight through a real diamond will the reflection show a little bit of blue?
Yes, when sunlight passes through a real diamond, it can create a blue reflection known as "blue light dispersion". This phenomenon is caused by the diamond's ability to refract light into its spectral colors, with blue being one of the prominent hues.
