“White light is the combination of seven colours” Explain.
Isaac Newton (1642-1727) was a well-known scientist who conducted research on the sun, light, and colour. It was through his experiments with prisms which proved that white light is composed of the colours of the spectrum. When white light passes through a prism, the colours that make up the white light disperse into seven bands of colours. These bands of colours are known as spectrum. When a second prism is placed in just the right position in front of the bands of this spectrum, these colours merge to form white light again. Seven colours that form white light are: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Final Answer White light consists of seven colours of different wavelength. When white light splits into seven colours, namely violet, indigo, blue, green, orange, and red are obtained, we usually call it as VIBGYOR. When all these colours are mixed we just get one light which is the WHITE light.
