Roger Bacon was the first to realize that the colors he saw through a glass of water came from the sunlight hitting the glass. Four hundred years later (1671) Isaac newton first used the word 'spectrum' in describing his experiments with prisms, and made one of the earliest explanations of the optical spectrum.
The visable light spectrum was discovered by Issac newtonwhere he wrote about it in his books when he wrote his Opticks, and from Goethe, in his Theory of Colours, although earlier observations had been made by Roger Bacon who first recognized the visible spectrum in a glass of water, four centuries before Newton discovered that prisms could disassemble and reassemble white light
Isaac Newton discovered the visible spectrum of light while fooling around with a prism (from which is derived the basic principle of a rainbow.) He later wrote about his findings in his well-known book, Optiks. Isaac Newton was also a master of atsronomy, calculus, and physics. It was also he who "discovered" gravity when an apple fell on his head. It is also probable that this experience led him to discover the effect of concussions on dementia. OK, not really about the dementia part.
Sir Isaac Newton discovered that white light is made of many colours.
The rainbow was discovered by Theodoric of Frielburg in the 14th Century.

Visible Light Spectrum.
It is none of these. Light is the visible part of the spectrum of electro-magnetic energy.
The visible light with the longest wavelength is the last coloryou can see on the red end of the spectrum.
!WRONG!infrared radiation!CORRECT AWNSER!visible light radiation
A purely scientific answer is that there are no more colours beyond what you see in a rainbow. The rainbow constitutes the visible spectrum, meaning that it is the only part of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye as light. Beyond the red 'end' of the spectrum is Infra Red Radiation and beyond the violet 'end' is Ultra-Violet and beyond that X-rays. There is a Wikipedia article about the electromagnetic spectrum here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum
Nobody knows who created the visible spectrum but newton was the first to actually prove that light was made up of all the colours in the visible spectrum
Well, seeing as it seperates visible light, it follows that it only seperates that visible light into the visible spectrum. You can't make radiowaves or UV rays out of visible light.
the range of the spectrum that's known as "visible light"
Visible light is a small section in the electromagnetic spectrum.
Most of the EM spectrum is visible light.
Visible light is a small section in the electromagnetic spectrum.
The visible spectrum is the light we can see with our own eyes. The colours of the rainbow.
Most of the electromagnetic spectrum is not visible.
Most of the electromagnetic spectrum is not visible.
Yes. visible light is in the electromagnetic spectrum.
Yes.
