ROYGBV: Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet.

Visible light consists of every color that can be perceived by the human eye, every

color that has ever been painted, and every color that has ever been named. there

are an infinite number of them.

Every frequency (wavelength) is a different "color". If you name two frequencies

within the visible range, then no matter how close together they are, I can always

name a different frequency that's in between your two.

School children learn to name seven colors in the rainbow. But if you look between

any two of those, you see many different shades.

What is also known as the visible spectrum?

The visible spectrum is also known as white light. It refers to the range of electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye, typically spanning wavelengths from about 380 to 700 nanometers.


Are there 5 colours in the visible spectrum of white light?

The 7 accepted colours of the rainbow are: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet. A rainbow forms when sunlight, shinning through raindrops, is split into the main colours making up 'white' light.


What are primary colors of light?

This Q&A is about light colours. Paint colours are substances, and different from light colours.If you hold up a glass prism to a beam of sunlight, you'll see the light form a rainbow of colours. This is called the spectrum. It consists of all the colours that make up "white" light.Although you might be able to see seven colours in the spectrum, the white light is really made up of three basic colours. These are called the primary colours because they cannot be made from any other colours. The primary colours of light are red-orange, green, and violet blue. The other colours you see in spectrums or rainbows are made by a mixture of the primary colours.When the naked eye looks at the spectrum, it can see three mixed colours, which are called secondary colours. The secondary colours in light are green-blue, yellow, and magenta-red. You can produce these colours by mixing the primary colours in certain combinations.


What are the colors of visible light and how can you see them?

light is invisible you can only see the things it bump in to... and when you're saying visible light i think it 's only lasers who fits that description and they are many different colours

What is the Visible?

White light is composed of many colours. When these colours combine, they look white. One way of showing that white light is composed of different colours is to make white light pass through a glass prism. This splits up the white light into its constituent colours. I f you hold a screen in its path, you will see a band of colours. This band of colours is called the spectrum. Since it is visible to human eyes, it is called the visible spectrum.
