Best Answer

It is a disc that is divided into coloured segments. It can have three segments, each shaded with one of the primary colours red, green and blue, or it can be divided into seven segments shaded with the colours of the rainbow; red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. When you spin the disc rapidly the colours merge to give the appearance of white light. It shows that what we see as white is in fact a combination of all colours.
