There is a wide variety of frequencies, that change gradually between one extreme and the other. There are not just 7 distinct colors, but that is the way many people perceive it.

The visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum represent a large portion of the spectrum?

The visible portion of electromagnetic spectrum is called the visible light and is the electromagnetic wave with the wavelength between 380 - 740 nm.


Which part of the visible light has most energy?

The blue part of the spectrum has more energy than the red part.


Why the colors are visible to human eyes?

The colors give the body energy.. Most colors have various amount if light in them coming from a rod of invisible energy. The energy in these colors is what helps us ejaculate during mating occasions. nah im bsing


Why does the colors of an object look different under a fluorescent lamp from the way it looks under an incandescent lamp?

differences in the color of light will change the color's appearance as it is seen under fluorescent and incandescent. An incandescent lamp, like the sun, produces a spectrum of light in every color in a wide band, broad enough to cover the entire visible spectrum -- and extending past it to many colors that humans can't see. A fluorescent lamp produces a spectrum of light in a few narrower bands of color. That is why a fluorescent lamp is more energy efficient than a incandescent -- the fluorescent lamp doesn't waste energy producing photons that humans can't see. Some materials (such as white paper) reflect all visible colors equally. They look white in almost any kind of light. Other materials absorb some colors more strongly than other colors. They look colored in "white" incandescent light. If we have a material that reflects most colors equally, except for a narrow band of colors, and that band is in the "dark" part of of the fluorescent spectrum -- it will look the same color as white paper. If we have another material that reflects most colors equally, except for a narrow band of colors that is in one of the bands of colors produced by a flourescent lamp -- that material will look even more deeply colored in fluorescent light than in incandescent light.


Most sunlight consists of what parts of the electromagnetic spectrum?

The visible spectrum (the radiation we can see as light). This is most likely why organisms evolved to be able to see visible light over other types of electromagnetic radiation - the sun emits this more than the other frequencies, so it was easier for life to evolve seeing this spectrum.

What are the colors of visible spectrum?

in increasing wave lengths: violet, cyan, magenta, green, yellow, blue, red (red being the strongest wavelength) The colors of the visible spectrum are innumerable to mention. More than 16 million colors have been known, but many more exist. All colors of the visible spectrum are formed by the combination of red, blue and yellow colors in specific proportions. For this reason, these three colors are called primary colors. Try using ROYGBIV to remember them in DECREASING wave lengths. ( Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Magenta, Cyan, Violet)


What do you call a band of colors when light passes through a prism?

Why is the light blurrer as light moves further?

Light is bluer as it moves farther is because blue travels faster than the other colors in the visible spectrum.


Why a non luminous flame does not give out much light?

A very hot flame may radiate more in the invisible, ultraviolet spectrum than in the visible spectrum.

Is white light absence of color or all of the colors combined?

White light is a combination of all the colors of the visible spectrum. When all the colors of light are present in equal intensities, they combine to form white light. In contrast, absence of light or complete darkness is represented by black, rather than white.


What sort of colours are violet and indigo?

Violet and indigo are colors on the short wavelength end of the visible spectrum. If the wavelength gets shorter than that you enter the ultraviolet spectrum. It is called ultraviolet because it is literally beyond violet.


Which part of the visible light has most energy?

The blue part of the spectrum has more energy than the red part.


Are rainbows made out of visible light spectrum?

The part of the rainbow that you can see is. There's more to the rainbow than what you see ... outside the red end and outside the violet end. Those regions are composed of parts of the spectrum that are not visible.


What type of wave is shorter than the shortest visible light?
