Glowling — White Light & Color Rainbow Falls
Hi!
I'm Glowling.
Welcome to Rainbow Falls!
Will you help me investigate white light & color?
The Grumblies have mixed up our clues.
Let's check the evidence!
White light can contain many colors.
A prism can separate them
because different colors change direction by different amounts in the material.
What enters the prism in our model?
- A. White light
- B. Only one sound
- C. Only heat labels
The answer is A: White light
White light can contain many colors.

That clue helps us make sense of this place.
Objects reflect some light and absorb some.
Their appearance depends on the light reaching them as well
as their properties.
What does the prism help show?
- A. Color is always created from nothing at the glass
- B. All colors are new matter
- C. White light contains multiple colors
The answer is C: White light contains multiple colors
Our text-labeled prism model shows white light entering
and several named color bands leaving.
Use the labels and paths;
no answer requires distinguishing colors by sight.
