The atoms of glowing gas emit the wavelength of radiations which lie in its spectrum. The same wavelength it can absorb because these are suitable for excitation pass through th gas
Fluorescent lights work by ionizing atoms of Mercury in the mercury vapor in the tube, these ions then emit UV light. The inner surface of the tube is coated with a mixture of chemicals called phosphors, which emit visible light when excited by this UV light. Each phosphor chemical only emits a very limited number of wavelengths of light, so to get what looks to us like white light at least three phosphor chemicals are used: one that emits mostly red wavelengths, one that emits mostly green wavelengths, and one that emits mostly blue wavelengths to match the responses of the cone cells in the human eye.
Incandescent bulbs instead produce a broad "black body" spectrum because they generate their light entirely via heating. This spectrum goes deep into the IR, spans the entire visible spectrum, then ends abruptly in the lower end of the UVA.
Violet light has longer wavelengths.
Visual perception is a result of light being detected by your retina at the back of your eye. Light of different wavelengths determines colour. Objects that are a specific colour absorb light of certain wavelengths and reflect light at other wavelengths. So if an object is green that is because it is absorbing the red and blue light and reflecting green.
It means the wavelengths are separated. White light, for example, is actually a mixture of different wavelengths.
The wavelengths of visible light are longer than ultraviolet wavelengths.
Different wavelengths of visible light are different colors.
A hot, glowing wire emits all wavelengths (or colors) of light. This is sometimes called "blackbody radiation." Since all colors are present, you will get a continuous spectrum.
The difference between light and dark is a rather complicated topic. It involves, with light, their being certain wavelengths present. With darkness, there are no wavelengths present.
No. Certain wavelengths of light are needed for photosynthesis. The appropriate wavelengths are not present in purely thermal energy.
It separates the light by their wavelengths to make a color spectrum, and gives one a rainbow.

Black is the only color that does absorb all wavelengths of light.White is the color that reflects all wavelengths of light.All other colors absorb only certain wavelengths of light and reflect the rest.

Microwaves. The same one where you cook popcorn

There are only certain wavelengths that can be accepted and absorbed by chlorophyll molecules. The rest are instead reflected - the colors that you can see. Without those wavelengths, you do not have photosynthesis.
A filter to let through certain wavelenghts of light. The wavelengths that Hydrogen is most active in. Other light does not get through so objects that "shine" in those wavelengths do not show in the image.
