17)  the different colors revealed as white light passes through a prism representa)different temperatures of white light. b)different amounts of energy in white light. c)different levels of refraction in white light. d)different levels of absorption in white light.

As white light passes through a prism, the light is separated into the different colours of light that we see and this is called the visible spectrum. Each colour of light has a different wavelength. The wavelength is inversely proportional to the energy of that light. As the wavelength increases, the energy decreases and vice-versa. The relationship is:

E = h/λ, E is energy, h is Planck's constant, and λ is the wavelength.

Therefore, the answer is B) different amounts of energy in white light.

The answer is b. hope this !
