How do prisms work?
Refraction is when light bends through an object. White light is made up of all the colors of the spectrum. Different colors have different wavelengths, therefore they bend at different angles. So when white light passes through a prism the different colors bend at different angles, so they separate to produce the rainbow of light that we see.
What has No equal angles or sides?
There is no specific name for a polygon in which all the angles are different or where the sides are all different.
What is a special triangle with all sides and a different size and all angles a different size is a?
A scalene triangle has different sized sides and angles.
Are the angles of a pentagon all the same?
No there are different angle such as right angles, obtuse angles, and acute angles.
What is the difference between the different triangles?
Equilateral = all 3 sides the same length, and all 3 angles the same Scalene = all 3 sides different, and all angles different Isosceles = 2 sides the same, 1 different, 2 angles the same, 1 different All internal angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees. Hope this helps x
Why do all colours refract at different angles?
Different colors refract at different angles because they have different wavelengths. When light enters a different medium, such as air to water, the speed of light changes, causing different colors to bend at different angles due to their unique wavelengths being affected differently. This results in the separation of colors, known as dispersion.
Why are things certain colours?
Objects appear certain colors because they absorb some wavelengths of light and reflect others. The color we perceive is the result of the light that is reflected off the object and into our eyes. Different colors are the result of different wavelengths of light being reflected.
What does white reflect?
all colors
What objects are made up of all the colors of the rainbow?
Every thing. some objects reflect some colors(the colors that we see) and absorb all others(the ones we don't see). the colors that are reflected and blend to make all the different colors.
Do all colors refract at the same angle when entering a medium?
No, different colors of light refract at slightly different angles when entering a new medium due to their unique wavelengths. This dispersion of light causes the colors to separate, such as in a rainbow or through a prism.
How do prisms work?
Refraction is when light bends through an object. White light is made up of all the colors of the spectrum. Different colors have different wavelengths, therefore they bend at different angles. So when white light passes through a prism the different colors bend at different angles, so they separate to produce the rainbow of light that we see.
Do white objects absorb all colors or reflect all colors?
White objects reflect all colors of light, as they appear white to our eyes by reflecting the full spectrum of visible light. They do not absorb all colors, rather they reflect them equally.
Do all colors reflect the same amount of color?
no
Is earth the only planet with 3 colors?
No. Any object can be classified into three "colors". All objects reflect or refract or diffract various wavelengths of light in various amounts and so have different "colors"
What separates white light into it various colors?
White light separates into its various colors when it passes through a prism or diffraction grating, causing different colors to bend at different angles due to their different wavelengths. This dispersion occurs because each color of light has a different frequency, resulting in the colors being spread out into a spectrum.
Why do things have different color?
Different colors are due to the way objects absorb and reflect light. Objects appear to have a certain color because they absorb certain wavelengths of light and reflect others. Our eyes perceive these reflected wavelengths as different colors.
What colors will black reflect?
Black will absorb most colors and reflect very little light, if any. It will appear dark and devoid of color.
