The visible light spectrum refers to the range of electromagnetic radiation that can be detected by the human eye, ranging from violet to red. The colors of the visible light spectrum are often remembered using the acronym ROYGBIV (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet). The properties of the visible light spectrum include the fact that it travels in waves and that different wavelengths of light correspond to different colors.

A color wheel can be used to identify the various colors of the visible light spectrum. The color wheel is a circular chart that displays the colors of the spectrum in order. The colors are arranged in a way that shows the relationship between them and their position in the spectrum. By using a color wheel, it is easy to see how each color relates to the others and how they blend together to form new colors. |
Red is the color at the longest wavelength end of the visible spectrum, with a wavelength of approximately 665 nanometers.
