Why does white light separate into different colors as it passes through a prism?
The colors are changed by addition.
This is an example of color by subtraction.
Different colored light has different wavelengths.
The side part of a prism only let certain colors of light pass through.
Which of the following is true about the relationship between frequency and energy?
