Explain how a prism works for us tos we all the colors of a rainbow?
1 answer
A prism works by bending and separating light into its component colors through the process of refraction. When white light enters a prism, it is made up of all the colors of the visible spectrum. As the light passes through the prism, it slows down and bends at different angles based on the wavelength of each color. This causes the light to separate into its individual colors, creating a rainbow-like effect. The different colors of light then exit the prism at different angles, allowing us to see a beautiful display of colors spread out in a spectrum, similar to a rainbow.
