The colors of the rainbow are found in the visible light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, which ranges from approximately 380 nanometers (violet) to about 750 nanometers (red). The visible spectrum includes the colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet, often represented in that order. These colors correspond to different wavelengths of light that can be seen by the human eye.

Is there a reason they put those certain colors in the rainbow?

Rainbows cannot be created by anything living. It just creates after a long rain shower. When the air mixes up with the light and the moisture, It creates a rainbow! Rainbows can be found in many different places all over the world! So someday try to find a rainbow. Remember it can be found in many different places!


I have a brooch with has a Celtic cross on it surrounded by colours of the rainbow i m trying to find out about it?

It sounds like you have a brooch that combines a Celtic cross with rainbow colors. The Celtic cross is a symbol of Celtic heritage and the rainbow colors may symbolize diversity, inclusion, or pride. It could be a unique piece reflecting both cultural and symbolic meanings.


What are gamma rays most similar to?

A gamma ray is a form of electromagnetic radiation that has a very short wavelength (and a very high frequency and a very high energy). Gamma rays are similar to visible light, radio waves, and all the other forms of electromagnetic radiation. We find gamma rays at the top or high end of the electromagnetic spectrum. It is probable that X-Rays, which are just below gamma rays in the spectrum, are most similar.


Who was the first person who proved visible light is only part of the elctromagnetic spectrum?

While I wasn't able to find a specific name associated with the unification of the electromagnetic spectrum, I would suspect that it was James Clerk Maxwell, the man who discovered the link between electricity and magnetism, thus coining the term "electro-magnetic". The spectrum itself is just a list of the ranges of energy that a photon can be at. By studying visible light we can develop the equations that eventually lead to everything from radio waves to gamma waves.


How did sir Isaac newton find out about white light?

Newton discovered that white light is a combination of all the colors of the visible spectrum by passing sunlight through a glass prism, which then separated the light into its component colors. He noticed that when the colors were combined back together, they formed white light again. This led him to develop his theory of color and light.

What are warm colors of the rainbow called?

If anything, I'd just categorize them as the warm colors. I have never heard RED, ORANGE and YELLOW categorized as anything else. The most I know is that these are the colors with the longest wavelength or smallest frequency. All colors are part of the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum and are considered electromagnetic radiation. Besides all that talk of physics, I cannot even find any other classification. Sorry...

Where can you see a spectrum?

The question probably refers to a light spectrum, and the most familiar apparition of that is a rainbow. If Nature isn't cooperating at the moment, one can make a mini-rainbow by holding a garden hose on the "spray" setting and standing with one's back to the Sun. Technically, the range of visible light is less than one octave on the whole spectrum of Electromagnetic radiation, which covers more than sixty octaves, so there's a lot of spectra we can't see at all. Fun Fact: No two people ever see the same rainbow, because it's not a "thing" but an effect. Each droplet of water acts as a tiny prism and contributes a different bit of light to each eye.

Colors in a rainbow?

Every colour which exists within the visible light spectrum is present in a rainbow, but the more dominant colours, such are the primary and secondary colours are the most distinctive. They can be used with this abreviation: ROY G BIV. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet.
