What else can I help you with?
Why the rainbow colors arrange like that?
You get it because of the wave length of the waves go from long to short
What is a visible spectrum?
The Visible Spectrum is that part of the Electromagnetic Spectrum which can be seen with the naked eye. It consists of the frequencies between 380 nanometers and 700 nanometers. It consists of the colors Violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red. You can get information on the total Electromagnetic Spectrum from Wikipedia or any other encylopedia.
What did newton use to separate white light into spectrum of colors?
Isaac Newton used a triangular prism to separate white light into its spectrum of colors. When white light passes through the prism, the different wavelengths of light are refracted by different angles, causing them to spread out and create the rainbow of colors.
Which basic property determines a colored lights placement on the spectrum of visible light?
Most of the spectrum charts that I have seen are listed in wavelengths, particularly nanometers (nm). Where 1 nm = 1x10^-9 m.
What are the sizes of each waves in the electromagnetic spectrum?
The length of each wave is 299,792,458 meters/the frequency of the wave .
What determines the color of a electromagnetic light wave?
The color of an electromagnetic light wave is determined by its wavelength. Shorter wavelengths correspond to colors towards the blue end of the spectrum, while longer wavelengths correspond to colors towards the red end of the spectrum.
Why are the Primary Colours red blue and yellow?
Red , Yellow and Blue are the Primary Colours because you cannot make them from other colour pigments. Also Red colour is at the Long wave end of the Spectrum. Blue colour is at the Short wave end of the spectrum. Yellow colour is at the Mid-point of the spectrum. When mixed;- Red & Blue = Purple Red & Yellow = Orange Blue & Yellow = Green
What part of the transverse wave determines the color of light?
The frequency of the wave determines the color of light. Higher frequency waves correspond to colors towards the blue end of the spectrum, while lower frequency waves correspond to colors towards the red end of the spectrum.
What wave has a color spectrum that is known as roygbiv?
That wave is called as electromagnetic wave. It has got a spectrum of very high frequency gamma rays to very low frequency radio waves. They all have the same speed. That is the speed of light.
How does wavelength change as you move from left to right along the electromagnetic spectrum?
As you move from left to right along the electromagnetic spectrum, the wavelength decreases. This means that the distance between two consecutive wave crests becomes shorter. For example, radio waves have longer wavelengths on the left side of the spectrum, while gamma rays have very short wavelengths on the right side.
The wavelength of a light wave can be used to measure what?
The wavelength of a light wave can be used to measure the color of the light. Different wavelengths correspond to different colors of light on the visible spectrum.
Do all colors have the same wave lengths?
The visible light part of the electromagnetic spectrum is below the ultraviolet but above infrared. Purple light has the highest wave length and red has the lowest.
Why some colors are not seen distinctly in the rainbow?
the colours at the beginning of the spectrum are absorbed by our atmosphere because they have shorter wave lenghts. this makes those colours less distinct then the colours at the other end of the spectrum.
Why the rainbow colors arrange like that?
You get it because of the wave length of the waves go from long to short

What causes the different colors in the spectrum?
Visible light contains all of the colors with in the spectrum. The only way we see color is the bending and refraction of the visible light sending certain wave lengths back, which our brain interprets as different colors.
What does the frequency of a light wave tell you?
The frequency of a light wave tells you how many wave cycles pass a given point in one second. It determines the color of the light: higher frequencies correspond to colors like blue and violet, while lower frequencies correspond to colors like red and orange.
