White light contains all colors. When white light passes through red glass, for example

(or any red thing that passes light through it), all of the colors except red are removed

(filtered out) so the resulting light only contains the color red.

This is a big part of the reason why that piece of glass comes to be called "red" glass.

The red is absorbed and all the other colours are reflected so it appears red

What is the color of opaque and transparent?

"Opaque" and "transparent" refer to the amount of light that passes through the colour, not the colour itself. "Opaque" is a term used to describe any solid colour that light does not pass through. If you put an opaque colour it over another colour you will not see the colour below through it. "Transparent" is a term used to describe any colour that light passes through in any of many varying degrees. If you paint a transparent colour over another colour, you will be able, to some degree, to see the colour(s) and the ground (paper, canvas, whatever you are painting on) through the top coat.

What is the series of colour bands that are formed after light passes through a prism called?

The series of color bands formed after light passes through a prism is called a spectrum. This spectrum is created due to the dispersion of light into its component colors based on their wavelengths.

Why do you see rainbow in the sky?

When light passes through a concave mirror lights are deflected and form any colour because light consist of 7 colour. After rainfall there are water vapour in the sky those are worked as concave lens. When sunlight passes through the water vapour lights deflect and shows 7 colour. We see many colour from a bubble because of the reason.

When light passes through a red filter, the color that comes through is red, as the filter absorbs other colors of light and only allows red wavelengths to pass through.


When white light travels through a glass prism which colour is refracted through the largest angle?

Violet light is refracted through the largest angle when white light passes through a glass prism because it has the shortest wavelength of all the colors in the visible spectrum.
