After white light has been broken up into all visible colors of the spectrum after being passed through a prism what will happen if all these colors are then passed through a second prism?

If all colors are passed through another prism white light will emerge
This may sound funny, but check out the pink Floyd album dark side of the moon, look at the front then look at the back it is an upside down image with colors going in and light going out. Imagine those are the colors from the front. (The triangle is a 2D interpretation of a triangular prism)

∙ 10y agoThe main function of prism is to exploit the sun's white light into its constituents seven colors.Because these seven colors(VIBGYOR) have different wavelengths & hence different refractive index means different angle of refraction.
But if we place another prism inverted with 1st one then it reverse the action of first, it converges all colors to form a single white light.

What do you call a band of colors when light passes through a prism?
There are more than seven but only seven are visible. They are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, and the one that cant be seen is ultra-violet.
What do you call a prism spreading out light into colors?
It is called Visible light Spectrum.
What is the break up of sunlight into colors?
An optical prism can be used to disperse light from the sun's spectrum into all of its constituent colors. It is the same concept that gives rise to the phenomenon of rainbows.
How do prisms create a spectrum of colors?
Prisms create spectrum of colors by the cause of refraction.
Do darker colors absorb more microwaves?
"Color" is a way of describing how an object interacts with electromagnetic radiation in the visible region of the spectrum. This has no impact whatsoever on how it interacts with electromagnetic radiation in the microwave region of the spectrum. So, no, they don't.
Can white light be broken up into various colours of light?
Yes visible light is part of what is called the electromagnetic spectrum. White light is actually all of the visible spectrum being seen. This is demonstrated by white light passing through a prism and being broken up into its component colors, such as a rainbow.
Which type of spectrum is produced when light from the sun passes through a prism?
It is the spectrum of visible light, which has the colors of the rainbow.
Where you see a spectrum of colours?
If you pass white light through a prism, it will separate out into the individual colors of the visible spectrum.
When light passes through a prism it is separated into the colors of the the rainbow called?
Visible Spectrum
Which type of spectrum is produced when white light from the Sun passes through a prism?
The colors you see in a rainbow Continuous spectrum :)
How does light separate into the colors of the visible spectrum?
When light goes through a prism, it separates into a rainbow.
The range of colors of visible light is called the?
visible spectrum
What type of light gives off all of the colors on the visible spectrum?
White light contains all of the colors in the visible spectrum. Black contains none of these colors.
What are the colors of the rainbow known as?
The visible spectrum
When white light is passed through a prism it separated into the colors of te rainbow called the?
Visible Spectrum
Why can't you see spectrums other than visible spectrum?
yes, there are more colors tha the visible spectrum!
What do you call all the visible and non-visible colors of light?
the electromagnetic spectrum
