Our modern understanding of light and color begins with Isaac Newton (1642-1726) and a series of experiments that he publishes in 1672. He is the first to understand the rainbow - he refracts white light with a prism, resolving it into its component colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet.

Light is electromagnetic energy that travels in waves and has frequencies both visible and invisible to the human eye. The visible light range is known as the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum. To the naked eye, UV light appears white, but it is actually made up of several different wavelengths of color. These colors are arranged in order from shortest to longest and blend from one to the next, like a rainbow. The order of the wavelengths are violet, blue and green, yellow, orange and red -- which means violet has the shortest wavelength; and red, the longest
