Color is a small segment of the total electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye. It ranges from violet (shortest wavelength) to red (longest wavelength), with each color corresponding to a specific wavelength of light. The color spectrum includes all the colors of the rainbow, and each color is perceived based on the specific wavelength of light that is present.
What else can I help you with?
Is the color spectrum simply a small segment of the electromagnetic spectrum?
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.
Why astronomers study radiation beyond the violet end of visible light and beyond the red end of visible light?
Astronomers study as much of the spectrum of radiation as they can, and the visible spectrum is only a small segment of it.
How much electromagnetic spectrum is visible?
The part of the electromagentic spectrum from the bottom of the AM radio dial ... 550 KHz ...to the lowest-frequency gamma rays ... 1019 Hz ... covers roughly 44 octaves.Out of that, roughly one octave is visible to the human eye. (maybe 380 - 750 nanometers)
What spectrum does white light form?
when dispersed through a prism: Visible spectrum of light (rainbow) part of (very small fraction) electromagnets spectrum
What is Visible light only a small portion of?
Visible light is only a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, which includes a wide range of wavelengths such as radio waves, microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.
Is the color spectrum simply a small segment of the electromagnetic spectrum?
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.

What is the small part of the light spectrum that you can see - called?
Visible light spectrum.
What does the spectrum in the electromagnetic spectrum do?
I suppose you mean the visible spectrum, only a small part of the entire electromagnetic spectrum. The visible spectrum is basically all of the colors the human eye can detect.
What is a sentence for spectrum?
Here is an example sentence with the word "spectrum":The colours that we are able to see are actually a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
What is white?
in between gray and white :) or it could be a little bit of whiteITs like a slang word
What is between visible light and the electromagnetic spectrum?
Visible light is a small section in the electromagnetic spectrum.
Galaxies that show redshift in color must be red in color?
No. You can figure out exactly what elements are in stars and galaxies by examining the color spectrum of the light detected; the frequencies of the bright and dark lines in the spectrum tell you what's what. But there's a problem. For distant galaxies, the light spectrum is wrong. The frequency lines of the spectrum are all too low. One possible explanation of the incorrect spectrum is that those stars and galaxies are MOVING AWAY from us, and that the spectrum is shifted toward the red end of the color spectrum because of the Doppler effect. So scientists believe that the "red-shift" on the color spectrum of stars and galaxies indicate that they are moving away. Not all galaxies show a red-shift; the Andromeda Galaxy, M31, shows a pronounced BLUE-shift, indicating that it is heading TOWARD us. In fact, scientists believe that the Milky Way and Andromeda will probably collide in about 3 billion years.
What is the second segment of the small intestine?
jejumum
What is The relationship between visible light and the electromagnetic spectrum?
Visible light is a small section in the electromagnetic spectrum.
What spectrum does white light form?
when dispersed through a prism: Visible spectrum of light (rainbow) part of (very small fraction) electromagnets spectrum
