All electromagnetic radiation is light, but we can only see a small portion of it, this part is visible light. Cone-shaped cells in our eyes receive the wavelengths. Other parts of the spectrum have wavelengths too big or too small and energetic for the biological limitations of our minds. As the full spectrum of visible light travels through a prism, the wavelengths separate into the colors of the rainbow because each color is a different wavelength.
Overall frequency: Ranges from 430-790 THz
Individual color frequencies:
- violet: 668-789 THz
- indigo: 668-714 THz
- blue: 606-668 THz
- green: 526-606 THz
- yellow: 508-526 THz
- orange: 484-508 THz
- red: 430-484 THz
Wavelength of visible light:
The wavelength of light is usually around 700 to 400 billionths of a meter.
The color of visible light waves depends on their wavelength.
The color of visible light waves depends on their wavelength.
