When white light is diffracted and blue color is seen is due to the absorbance of wavelength of all other color except blue.

Explanation:

  • The white light diffracts into rainbow colors which are the 7 colors present in form of VIBGYOR.
  • VIBGYOR is the violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange and Red.
  • When the blue color is seen denotes the shortest wavelength being reflected and all other being absorbed at the specified location.
