White Light & Colour

Science · Waves, Light & Sound · conceptual

Explain that white light is a mixture of all visible colours (ROYGBIV), describe dispersion through a prism, explain why objects appear coloured (selective reflection and absorption of wavelengths), and describe colour mixing with filters

What mastery looks like

  • Lists the colours of the visible spectrum in order of increasing frequency
  • Explains why a prism disperses white light into a spectrum
  • Explains why a red object looks red under white light but black under blue light
  • Predicts the colour of an object seen through a colour filter

Check your understanding

If White Light & Colour shone white light through a prism, could they explain why a rainbow of colours appears — and then predict what colour a blue jumper would look under red light and why?
