Question
what separates light into distinct colors (wavelengths)? prism person computer liquid solution
Brief Explanations
A prism is an optical element that can separate white light into its component colors (wavelengths) through the process of refraction. Different wavelengths of light are refracted at slightly different angles, causing them to spread out and form a spectrum. A person, computer, or liquid solution does not have the inherent optical properties to separate light into distinct colors in the same way a prism does.
