It separates the light by their wavelengths to make a color spectrum, and gives one a rainbow.
because the prism splits the white light into all colors of visible light
This is because when the white light it's the prism, the colours separate and change speeds.
White light.
prism
A dispersive prism can break light into its spectral colours, or the colours of the rainbow
It splits white light up into the colors of the visible spectrum, but if the colors go through another prism, they turn into white light again.
prism
When white light passes through a prism it separates into its component wavelengths that we observe as colours.
I believe that you are talking about a prism, and the process where the light is broken up in to its constituent parts is called dispersion
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.
light is white. if you mix the colors of the rainbow you get white. A prism separates the colors, showing a rainbow.
Issac newton conducted the experiment in which he showed that white light is made of vibgyor colors. he took a prism and made a beam of light fall in it. the light splited into seven colors then he took another prism and kept it inversely the other prism in direction of light all the 7 components after passing from the prism joined to form white light
