The word "spectrum" was coined by Isaac newton in the 17th century to describe the band of colors that make up white light when passed through a prism.
This means the range of some specific property that is measurable. Here are some example sentences.You can see the spectrum of light by shining a beam through a prism.He showed the entire spectrum of emotions when they told him the news.Spectrum is a noun. The visible light spectrum is seen in nature as a rainbow.
The term "infrared" comes from Latin roots: "infra" meaning below and "red" referring to the color red, which has the longest wavelength in the visible light spectrum. Infrared radiation has longer wavelengths than visible light, hence the name.
Spectra is the plural of spectrum. You could discuss the spectrum generated by an element in a star, and comparing more than one element, you would be comparing spectra. (Latin -um words form plurals like this, so you cannot refer to them as spectrums. Another example is datum, singular, and data, plural.)
