Light Diffraction Poster A Do Be Reader

Sunlight consists of a mixture of all colors, which can be separated into a spectrum of seven bands ranging from red to violet using a prism. Objects appear different colors based on the light they absorb and reflect; for example, a black object absorbs almost all light, while a white object reflects all colors. A red object reflects red light while absorbing other colors, creating its distinct appearance.

Sunlight is a mixture

of all colours
When all the colours of white light
are separated, they make a spectrum.
The spectrum is made up of seven
bands, with a band of red on one edge
and a band of violet on the other.

The bands travel side by side, but it’s


impossible to see them individually,
unless you view them through a prism.

When light shines on an object, some of the


colours are absorbed and others are reflected.

This spot looks black This spot appears This spot is red
because the ink white because it reflects because it reflects red
reflects almost no light all the colours. and absorbs
at all. Black things Nearly all the light the other colours.
absorb nearly all the bounces off the paper
light that reaches them. and reaches your eyes.
