Shine a narrow light through a prism so that the light lands on a wall behind.
Isaac Newton is credited with discovering that color is a direct function of light by passing sunlight through a prism and observing the bands of spectrum of colors. This experiment led to the understanding that white light is composed of a spectrum of colors that can be separated and displayed in a rainbow-like pattern.
There are no breaks between the colors of the spectrum; they blend seamlessly into one another. The visible spectrum of light consists of a continuous range of colors from red to violet.
The primary EM spectrum colors are red, green, and blue. These colors can be combined in different ways to create all the other colors we see in the visible spectrum.
No, humans cannot see all colors in the visible spectrum. The human eye can perceive a range of colors within the visible spectrum, but not all of them.
There are seven colors in the spectrum: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
You can't see the different colors that are shown
Newton's prism experiment proved that white light is composed of different colors (spectrum) and that these colors can be separated by passing through a prism. Additionally, it demonstrated that light can be refracted into its various wavelengths, creating a rainbow effect.
The colors of the spectrum were the colors of the rainbow.
Combining all colors of the visible spectrum results in white light. White light is a combination of all the colors in the visible spectrum and is perceived when all colors are present in equal intensity.
If you replace a mercury light with a sodium vapor lamp in a spectrometer experiment, you would observe only a few specific colors in the spectrum. These colors would correspond to the characteristic emission lines of sodium, such as the bright yellow spectral lines at 589.0 nm and 589.6 nm. Sodium vapor lamps emit light predominantly in the yellow region of the spectrum.

Prisms create spectrum of colors by the cause of refraction.

The classical experiment consists in directing sunlight through a glass prism onto a screen. Light in: invisible. Light out (and displayed on screen): full spectrum of visible colors.
The colors on the color spectrum combined to produce gray are black and white.
No, humans cannot see all colors in the visible spectrum. The human eye can perceive a range of colors within the visible spectrum, but not all of them.
