Which statements are true about light properties and how color in white light can be investigated? White light can be separated using any glass object. Light travels in a straight line until it strikes an object. When white light is separated by a prism, the colors appear in a random order. The way light reacts when it strikes an object depends on the properties of that object. When a single-colored light passes through a prism, it becomes white. As white light passes through a prism, it bends and separates into different colors

Light can not be separated.

Light travels in a straight line until it strikes an object.

The way light reacts when it strikes an object depends on the properties of that object.

As white light passes through a prism, it bends and separates into different colors

Explanation:

Light is known to travel in straight lines. This property is generally known as rectilinear propagation of light.

When light strikes an object, it may be reflected, refracted, or absorbed depending on the nature of the object.

When White light is incident on a glass prism, it bends (refraction) and become separated (diffraction) into the seven wavelengths that compose white light.
