what is combination of spectrum

Open in App
Solution

Dear student,

Spectrum:

  • When a beam of white light is passed through a prism, it gets split into a band of seven colors. This band or combination of seven colors is known as a spectrum.

It comprises violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red commonly known as VIBGYOR.


The difference in color is because of different wavelengths. A sequence of these light-rays in increasing or decreasing order of wavelength/frequency is known as the spectrum of light.

​​​​​​​Regards
