what colors describe the entire visible light spectrum according to increasing energy?
184774
The more energy a wave has, the higher its frequency, and vice versa. When it comes to visible light, the highest frequency color, which is violet, also has the most energy. The lowest frequency of visible light, which is red, has the least energy.

Electromagnetic waves are categorized according to their frequency f or, equivalently, according to their wavelength λ = c/f. Visible light has a wavelength range from ~400 nm to ~700 nm.

As the electrons in an atom changes its position or as it moves, different colors will appear. The colors that are observed is an indication that definite energy transformations occurs inside the atom emitting light.

These colors range from a deep violet to red and comprise the visible light spectrum. ultraviolet light is below violet light and invisible to the human eye. infrared light is above red on the spectrum and also invisible.

The only difference between them is their wavelength, which is directly related to the amount of energy the waves carry. The shorter the wavelength of the radiation, the higher the energy. The rainbow of colors that we see in visible light represents only a very small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.

The light we can see, made up of the individual colors of the rainbow, represents only a very small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Other types of light include radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, ultraviolet rays, X-rays and gamma rays — all of which are imperceptible to human eyes.

Light is made up of wavelengths of light, and each wavelength is a particular colour. The colour we see is a result of which wavelengths are reflected back to our eyes. The visible spectrum showing the wavelengths of each of the component colours.

Yes, they might have the same energy. If light is defined by power intensity then all colors of same intensity have the same energy if consumed at the same length of time. The only difference is that light of shorter wavelength (into the blue and violet) consists of fewer photons, thus the energy per photon is higher.

Spectrum - would be light shining through a prism, and giving the full spectrum of its colors. Continuum - would be a coherent beam of light emerging from a laser that is continuous in its monochromal color, never deviating from its original color, and is non-divergent.

Explanation: The wavelength of visible light is 400 to 750 nm. So it is visible to us color.

In optics, violet is a spectral color: It refers to the color of any different single wavelength of light on the short wavelength end of the visible spectrum (between approximately 380 and 450 nanometers), whereas purple is the color of various combinations of red, blue, and violet light, some of which humans perceive ...

When it comes to light waves, violet is the highest energy color and red is the lowest energy color. Related to the energy and frequency is the wavelength, or the distance between corresponding points on subsequent waves. You can measure wavelength from peak to peak or from trough to trough.

A third is energy, which is similar to frequency in that the higher the frequency of the light wave, the more energy it carries. Your eyes detect electromagnetic waves that are roughly the size of a virus. Your brain interprets the various energies of visible light as different colors, ranging from red to violet.

The colors of the visible spectrum include red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
775853
White light does not have a specific frequency or wavelength; it is just what our eyes see when all the frequencies of colors are combined. The primary colors of light are red, green, and blue. These colors make up the low, middle, and high frequencies of the spectrum, and when added together will make white light.

The colour of visible light depends on its wavelength. These wavelengths range from 700 nm at the red end of the spectrum to 400 nm at the violet end. Visible light waves are the only electromagnetic waves we can see. We see these waves as the colours of the rainbow.

The EM spectrum. Electromagnetic waves are categorized according to their frequency f or, equivalently, according to their wavelength λ = c/f. Visible light has a wavelength range from ~400 nm to ~700 nm. Violet light has a wavelength of ~400 nm, and a frequency of ~7.5*1014 Hz.
