The colours are determined by the wavelengths of the light. How they are perceived depends on the brain interpreting the signals from the retina.
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.
Red light.
Violet is found at the short-wavelength end of the visible spectrum, with wavelengths approximately between 380 to 450 nanometers. It is adjacent to ultraviolet light, which has even shorter wavelengths. In the electromagnetic spectrum, violet is the color that is closest to the ultraviolet range.
Light with a wavelength of 489 nm falls within the blue region of the visible spectrum. It is part of the visible light spectrum. Light with a wavelength of 987 nm falls within the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Photons with higher energy correspond to electromagnetic radiation with higher frequency/shorter wavelength. In the visible band, the color with the highest frequency is the last one you can see on the VIOLET end of the spectrum.

The so called visible spectrum. (from red [low frequency] to violet [high frequency].
The wavelength of light determines its color. Different wavelengths of light correspond to different colors in the visible light spectrum.
Red light.
The "color" is really a wavelength. The electromagnetic spectrum determines this, every different wavelength has a corresponding color. Red being the longest, and violet being the shortest. This electromagnetic spectrum also determines whether it is visible, ultraviolet, infrared, and so on.
The visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum is used in various applications such as photography, lighting, colorimetry, and optical communications. It is also essential for human vision and plays a crucial role in the perception of color and depth.
Different colors of visible light represent different wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation. Visible light ranges from violet (shorter wavelength) to red (longer wavelength), with each color corresponding to a specific wavelength on the electromagnetic spectrum. Each color has a unique energy level and frequency, which determines its appearance to the human eye.
Humans experience the longest visible electromagnetic waves as the color red. Red light has a longer wavelength than other colors in the visible spectrum, which is why it appears at the long-wavelength end of the spectrum that is visible to the human eye.
Violet is found at the short-wavelength end of the visible spectrum, with wavelengths approximately between 380 to 450 nanometers. It is adjacent to ultraviolet light, which has even shorter wavelengths. In the electromagnetic spectrum, violet is the color that is closest to the ultraviolet range.
Its not. You can't see ultraviolet. (it lies just above the visible spectrum.)
Light with a wavelength of 489 nm falls within the blue region of the visible spectrum. It is part of the visible light spectrum. Light with a wavelength of 987 nm falls within the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Visible light represents the color spectrum seen on Earth. It is a form of electromagnetic radiation that our eyes can detect and perceive as various colors.
