It means that visible light can be split into a spectrum of colours. Roygbiv is an acronym which helps us remember the colours of the spectrum in order: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.
The phenomenon where waves have a color spectrum known as ROYGBIV is called dispersion. This occurs when different wavelengths of light refract at different angles as they pass through a medium, causing the separation of colors.
ROYGBIV refers to the colors of visible light in the electromagnetic spectrum. The waves that make up this color spectrum range from longer red waves to shorter violet waves. In order from longest to shortest wavelength: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
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.
Frequency is directly related to color in terms of light waves. Higher frequency waves appear as colors on the violet end of the spectrum, while lower frequency waves appear as colors on the red end of the spectrum. The frequency of light waves determines the specific color that is perceived by our eyes.
The cones in the retina of our eyes are sensitive to certain frequencies of light within the visible light spectrum (ROYGBIV). Light waves with longer wavelengths (within the visible range of frequencies) are perceived to be on the red, orange, yellow side of the spectrum, while higher frequencies/shorter wavelengths of light appear blue or violet.

infrared rays are in the middle, and if it is for color it is green or yellow

Violet light waves have the highest frequency among the visible light spectrum.
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.
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.
Gamma rays are the shortest and highest energy waves in the electromagnetic spectrum.
The waves with the longest wavelengths are known as radio waves.
