Why does the violet light split into different colors when it passes through the prism?
Violet light does not split into different colors when it passes through a prism.If it goes in violet, it comes out violet.White light is a combination of light of many colors. If you pass white light througha prism, a spread of different colors will come out of the prism, because each colorbends through a slightly different angle on its way through the prism.
What did newton use to separate white light into spectrum of colors?
Newton Discovered that White light comprised of the entire spectrum of the visible wave length. When white light was shone through a triangular prism, it refracted the entire color spectrum.
