These are the main electromagnetic waves we can see. We see these waves as the rainbow's shades. Every shading has an alternate wavelength. Red has the longest wavelength and violet has the briefest wavelength. At the point when every one of the waves are seen together, they make white light.

At the point when white light radiates through a crystal, the white light is broken separated into the shades of the noticeable light range. Water vapor in the air can likewise break separated wavelengths making a rainbow.

Does light only travel in waves?

If you set up an experiment with equipment that detects and measures wave properties and then run light through it, light behaves like waves. If you set up an experiment with equipment that detects and measures particle properties and then run light through it, light behaves like particles. Light exhibits the propertiers of both waves and particles.

What is meant by the dual wave-particle nature of light?

It means that light behaves as both.If you design an experiment that detects waves, the behavior of light fits right in.And if you design an experiment that detects particles, the behavior of light fitsright into that one just as well. Whichever behavior you're looking for, light satisfies it. So when the question isasked: "Is light made of waves or particles ?", the best answer is "Yes".

Why does the ear pick up sound waves instead of light waves?

The two are different because Sound waves are longitudinal mechanical waves, but light waves are transverse electromagnetic waves, and sound requires a medium through which to travel, but light doesn't. Basically, Sound waves move sort of differently than Light waves.
