What is a sentence you can use for the word prism?
The prism refracted light into its various colors.
How can we split up white light into the seven colours of the spectrum?
Use a prism.
Who was the first scientists to use a prism to produce the colors of the rainbow?
Isaac newton
What device do scientists use to break white light into its colours?
Scientists use a prism to break white light into its colors. The prism refracts and disperses the light, separating it into the different wavelengths that make up the various colors of the spectrum.
Who was the 1st person to use aglass prism to obtain the spectrum of sunlight?
Sir Issac Newton
What objects can brake light into colors?
i would use a glass prism or a spectograph
What type of prism did Issac Newton use?
triangular prism
Which formula would you use to find the volume of a triangular prism?
Volume of a triangular prism = cross-section area times length
How can a spetrum of light be made?
get a glass prism and use a flashlight to point the light through it (p.s you can use a piece of glass to use as a prism)
Why you use triangular prism why cant you use rectangular prism in diffraction?
bcoz in triangular prism, sides are not parallel so rays will deflect but in rectangular prism sides are parallel so rays won't deflect instead they will pass straight.
What is the correct punctuate of this sentence Newton discovered that sunlight had many colors when it passed through a prism?
A period. It would look like this: Newton discovered that sunlight had many colors when it passed through a prism. You would use a period because it is a statement. You use periods for statements or imperative sentences (commands).
How many vertices does a rectangular prism have?
Did you mean vertices? A rectangular prism would have 8 vertices.
Would tripling the height of a triangular prism triple its volume?
If you triplied the height of a triangular prism, would that triple it volume
What would scatter light?
A prism
What is the name of the base when the prism has 12 vertices?
An hexagonal prism would fit the given description
Why would you use a prism?
The answer depends on whether you mean a transparent prism or a prism made of any material. The answer below is for optical prisms. You would use it to break up a beam of light into a spectrum. This can be to study the chemical composition of the substance radiating the light or of the subtance (in gaseous form) through which the light passes (spectroscopy). You would use it in astronomy to look for characteristic absorption lines to measure the red shift of stars, galaxies and other stellar objects and thereby estimate their distances (subject to qualifications about the Hubble constant). You would use it in optical instruments such as cameras, binoculars, microscopes to correct for some of the aberrations introduced by lenses.
What is the prism or pyramid with eighteen edges?
A pyramid with 18 edges would be called a nonagonal pyramid. A prism with 18 edges is called a hexagonal prism.
