The Spectrum of Colours

The electromagnetic spectrum includes all forms of light, from radio waves and microwaves at one end of the scale to X-rays and gamma rays at the other. In between is visible or white light, which is made up of a range of colors. We can see the individual colors when they are split up by water droplets and form a rainbow, or by water droplets and form a rainbow, or passing white light through a prism. It spans a continuous spectrum of colors. The colors of the spectrum are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Actually there are no bands in the Rainbow. The photo pigments in the human eye are an apparent with as completely separated and unconnected and in the brain outputs of photoreceptor and the neural processing. The humans with normal color vision see the rainbow is thought to be representative of how they see everywhere.
