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.


How do plants reach up to the sunlight?

Plants use a process called phototropism to grow towards sunlight. They detect the direction of light using photoreceptor cells and then grow faster on the side where light is coming from, allowing them to reach up to the sunlight.


Which is the main element in the Earth's crust?

Oxygen is the most abundant element in the Earth's crust, making up about 46.6% of its mass.


Why are there seven colours in a rainbow?

Because "color" is an interaction between the visible light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum and the light sensitive parts of our eyes. Our eyes have evolved 4 different receptors--one each for Red, Green and Blue and another for violet. A rainbow actually contains millions of colors, but we have evolved to categorize most of the wavelengths in the visible spectrum as one of the primary colors and their combinations.

What is RGB photography?

RGB photography is not as much a style of photography but a type of setting for editing the colours in an image. You may choose this setting selecting or editing the colours in an image. RGB is an acronym for Red Green Blue which refers to the colours making up an image.


How can a prism break up sunlight into different colours?

A prism can break up sunlight into different colors through the process of dispersion. When sunlight enters a prism, it is refracted at different angles depending on the wavelength of each color in the visible spectrum. This separation of colors creates a rainbow effect, with each color appearing at a different position as it exits the prism.

When was Hang Up Your Brightest Colours created?

Hang Up Your Brightest Colours was created in 1973.


Where do the prism come from?

Light (or sunlight) is made up of all the wavelengths of light combined. If you mix all the colours of the rainbow together you get white. A prism just spreads out the individual wavelengths to illustrate the different colours. Different colours of light are just different mixtures of these.


WHY DO rainbows have colours for kids?

Rainbows have colors because sunlight is made up of different colors of light. When sunlight passes through raindrops, it gets refracted and reflects inside the raindrop, separating the light into its different colors. This creates the spectrum of colors that we see in a rainbow.
