A prism can split light up into its colors because the speed of the different colors of light in glass varies slightly, with purple being the slowest, and red the fastest. White light is shined through a prism, which of the following describes the light that emerges from the prism? After passing through the triangular prism, the light becomes triangular shaped The light splits into its colors, with purple bending the most Only white light emerges from the prism O The light splits into its colors, with purple bending the least

Choose the correct statement. For light, we can call white a tertiary color because RED + BLUE + GREEN = WHITE. O For light, we can call white a tertiary color because GREEN + MAGENTA = WHITE. O We cannot call white a tertiary color. For light, we can call white a tertiary color because YELLOW + MAGENTA + CYAN = WHITE.
If you were to observe the sunset on the Moon, would you see the space around the sun as red, like you do on earth? Yes, because the color of light is independent of where you are. No, you would see it blue because of scattering of light. It would depend on the time of the day when you look at the sky. You would not because there is no atmosphere on the moon to scatter the light. You would not because the moon absorbs all the colors of light. You would see it black because the moon reflects all the colors. Yes, you would see it red like on the earth because both the moon and the earth are spehrical.

What experiment(s) show light acting as a wave? Explain in no more than 2 sentences. What experiment(s) shows light acting like a particle? Explain in no more than 2 sentences.
When white light is separated into its colors by a glass prism, blue light is bent at the greatest angle. This means, that of all the colors, blue light a) has the lowest energy b) has the smallest frequency c) travels the slowest in glass d) spends less time between the molecules.
