Question

the image shows an example of white light entering a prism and coming out as colors of the rainbow. how does a prism produce the colors of the rainbow from white light? by reflecting light with white wavelengths and transmitting light with colored wavelengths by changing the wavelength of white light into other wavelengths by separating the light of different wavelengths by absorbing colorless wavelengths from white light

Explanation:

White light is a mixture of light with different wavelengths (corresponding to different colors). A prism causes refraction, and light of different wavelengths bends by different amounts, which separates the mixed wavelengths into distinct colored bands. The other options are incorrect: prisms do not reflect white wavelengths while transmitting colored ones, do not change the wavelengths of light, and do not absorb "colorless wavelengths" (white light is a combination of colored wavelengths, not colorless ones).

Answer:

by separating the light of different wavelengths
