Which colour of light in a prism has the shortest wavelength? Explain
your answer.( 38 points )​

☁️ Answer ☁️

Violet

Explanation:

1. As the full spectrum of visible light travels through a prism, the wavelengths separate into the colors of the rainbow because each color is a different wavelength. Violet has the shortest wavelength, at around 380 nanometers, and red has the longest wavelength, at around 700 nanometers.

2. Isaac Newton's experiment in 1665 showed that a prism bends visible light andthat each color refracts at a slightly different angle depending on the wavelength of the color.

Hope it helps.

As the full spectrum of visible light travels through a prism, the wavelengths separate into the colors of the rainbow because each color is a different wavelength. Violet has the shortest wavelength, at around 380 nanometers, and red has the longest wavelength, at around 700 nanometers.

this means that the temperature of both substances will be equal
