How does light and rain make a rainbow?
The moisture droplets in the air refract the light like a prism. This happens with millions of droplets, and depending on the angle at which you observe it, you see a rainbow.
When light hits a prism why does it make a rainbow?
because when light hits the prism the prism scatters the light in all directions there for you can see the rainbow
What do you need to make a rainbow with a prism?
light
How do you separate the rays in a light beam to make a rainbow?
prism
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 will happen when a light is shone at a glass prism?
it will make a rainbow on the wall
How does white and water make a rainbow?
The water acts like a prism and white light shines through it, it makes a rainbow.
What happens when a light hits a prism?
When Light(White Light) enters a prism through one of its face, due to difference in the refractive indexes of the medium i.e. air and the glass of which the prism is made up of, and the difference in the wavelengths of difference colors of which white light is made up of the light scatters and a SPECTRUM of different colors is observed. However the scattering of light may depend upon the angle of incidence also as if the prism is kept at an angle where the angle is incidence is greater than the critical angle of prism, the light may undergo TOTAL INTERNAL REFLECTION i.e. TIR..!!
How do water droplets in the air form a rainbow?
the light reflects of the droplets like a prism and bend the rays of light to make a rainbow
How do make rainbow?
Rainbow is made by: Light+water (droplets).Make real a rainbow yourself:Constant and fine shower of water (perhaps from a hose)a sunny dayMake a fake rainbow:Quite powerful torchGlass prism
Can a laser pointer make a rainbow with a prism?
A laser beam consists of a single frequency of light, therefore it cannot form a spectrum or rainbow.
How white light light makes a rainbow?
White light, if passing through a prism, can make a rainbow via the optics phenomenon known as dispersion.
