The Color Of Light
Prisms and Rainbows

What Color is Light?

 

Light is white.

White light is made of all of the colors!

When all of the colors are together, the light looks white!

 

A prism spreads out the light.

We can see all of the colors.

A prism bends the light waves.

Some colors bend more.

Some colors bend less.

 

In this way, a prism shows the many colors of light.

 

A rainbow shows the many colors of light.

A rainbow is made when there are drops of water in the sky.

Light goes through the drops of water.

Water makes light waves bend.

We can see all of the colors of light!

This makes a rainbow!

A rainbow shows the colors of light!
