what happens to white light when it passes through a prism or water droplets?
○ it splits into a spectrum of colors
○ it becomes darker
○ it disappears
○ it turns into sound

Explanation:

This question is about the behavior of white light when passing through a prism or water droplets, which relates to the subfield of Physics (under Natural Science). The phenomenon is called dispersion, where white light (a combination of all visible colors) is split into its constituent colors (a spectrum) due to the different wavelengths of light being refracted at different angles. The other options are incorrect: light doesn't become darker, disappear, or turn into sound in this process.

Answer:

A. It splits into a spectrum of colors
