Yes, anyone can use a prism to separate light into the colors of the spectrum. It is, in fact, fairly simple to do. You simply place the prism into a beam of light and orient it so that the light beam enters on face at an angle, travels through the prism approximately parallel to a second face, and exits the third face at an angle similar to its angle of entry. The light beam will now be deflected by a total angle which depends on the refractive index of the material from which the prism is made.

What could happen if a scientist does not conduct a controlled variable?
you might not get the experiment correct (:
Why is it important for a scientist to have math skills?
Say as if I were a scientist. I am trying to create something that will cure cancer. If I miscalculate and do the wrong things I could probably make something more worse than it was before.
Can you separate parentheses on two lines?
ye s you can for example you could do 6-2*3+8*5 so you would separate them by addition and subtraction
How do you write 4.8 in scientific notation?
It is scientific as is. i.e. no scientist would complicate this. However, you could add 4.8x100
What word means split or divide?
It could be Separate, Disconnect, Dissect, Segregate, Split, Distribute, Allocate, or Partition.
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.
A scientist studies a species of bird in which the males and females are about the same size. The females have plain colors and the males have bright colors. What can the scientist conclude about thes?
The scientist could conclude that the females choose mates.
Where could one see the color bright green?
Computer uses can find the color bright green in the spectrum of colors known in printing as RYGB (red, yellow, green, blue). All colors, including bright green, are contained in this spectrum.
What two things did newtons prism experiment prove?
That light was made up of the colors of the spectrum and that light could be bent.
What is an experiment that you could do to find out if dogs can see colors?
Kill the dog,take out the eyes and give a scientist to test it.

What colors are spiral galaxies?
Blue, blue-white, white, yellow, orange, and red. In the visible spectrum. They also emit in non-visible wavelengths. Note that I don't mean it could be any of those colors, I mean it's probably ALL of those colors.
How can you tell for sure if a filament type bulb contains xenon or halogen elements?
You could shine white light through it, divide the light that comes out the other side into the full spectrum of colors, see which colors were absorbed by the bulb and are therefore missing from the spectrum, and consult a table to find out what element corresponds to that pattern of color bands.
How many colors are actually in the world?
There is essentially an infinite about of colours which can exist on the visible light spectrum. Every possible variation and shade could be considered a different colour.
If color is to shade then pitch is to what?
The sound spectrum exhibits colors just as much as the visual spectrum. You could say a C that is just a bit sharp is a different shade of C, much like fuchsia is a blend of green and blue. All twelve chromatic notes have their own distinct colors, and a note that is out of tune is simply a different shade of that color.
What part of the spectrum could i detect with your sense of sight?
The visible spectrum
What do the colors red orange yellow green blue and purple make?
One could say these colors make a rainbow, though this would not be entirely correct. Rainbow colors cover a continuous spectrum. When rainbow colors are names separately, they are usually listed as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.-----------They make up the colors of the first six billiard balls.YellowBlueRedPurpleOrangeGreen
