That would be the visible spectrum of light. The letters in the acronym stand for the colours, like the colours of the rainbow
Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue
Indigo

(These seven are the only colors that exist. Other rumored colors with names
like beige, olive, mustard, teal, silver, fuchsia, pink, gold, burgundy, etc. are the
mythical products of mass hallucination.)

∙ 10y agoThat would be visible light waves. Roy G. Biv is a fictitious name given as a mnemonic to help remember the names. It stands for:
Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue
Indigo
Violet
Do keep in mind that "indigo" is not part of the scientific list of colors. However, it was inserted to pad the colors out to seven. The reason to try to pad it out to seven colors is because light is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum just like sound, and the Western system of music has 7 notes.
Also, in scientific terms, purple and violet are not the same. While violet is the visible color with the highest frequency, purple is actually a mixture of red and blue. Electronic displays usually use purple in place of violet, since two phosphors, two LCD segments, or two LED segments are used to create it.

Is the color spectrum simply a small segment of the electromagnetic spectrum?
Yes, visible light (the color spectrum) is a tiny range of the full range of electromagnetic waves. In the related Wikipedia link, there is a picture that shows the colors 'crammed in' to a small range of the spectrum.
What color is part of an visible spectrum?
The spectrum contains all possible hues. It's kind of silly to ask what color it is.
What does the word spectrum mean when you say electromagnetic spectrum?
Here the word spectrum denotes the group of waves.
Sound is not part of the electromagnetic spectrum because?
because sound waves are not a electromagnetic waves because they need a medium for travel....hence electromagnetic spectrum is based on the electromagnetic waves ..like radio waves , micro waves , etc....
Why is the electromagnetic spectrum called a spectrum?
electromagnetic spectrum is called as the spectrum because it consists of different lights like radio waves, micro waves, infrared, visible light, ultra violet light, x-rays, gamma-rays
What is it called when waves have a color spectrum known as roygbiv?
a rainbow
What kind of waves are used in satellite transmission?
Radio waves - in the microwave section of the electromagnetic spectrum.
What kind of scientist studies the spectrum?
If you are meaning the light spectrum, Physicists study all forms of light and waves and what they do.
What kind of wave is an x ray?
X-Rays are part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Other waves on the electromagnetic spectrum include light, radio waves, and gamma rays.
What waves are only in the spectrum and are in the middle?
infrared rays are in the middle, and if it is for color it is green or yellow
What waves are only in the spectrum and in the middle?

How is the emission spectrum related to the absorption spectrum?
They are related by they are both spectrums that give the color(s) that the element is. The Emission Spectrum shows what color(s) it gives off, and the Absortion shows what color it absorbs and doesn't show. They also fit together and make a continuous spectrum.
The waves in the electromagnetic spectrum are gamma waves.?
highest
The electromagnetic spectrum includes what?
The electromagnetic spectrum includes electromagnetic waves with a continuous flow of the wavelength.
What color is part of an visible spectrum?
The spectrum contains all possible hues. It's kind of silly to ask what color it is.
What are the waves in the EM spectrum?
Radio waves are the longest lengthwise.
