The Colours that are included in visible spectrum are - 7 Colours namely :

  1. Red
  2. Orange
  3. yellow
  4. green
  5. blue
  6. indigo
  7. violet

Step-by-step explanation:

  • when white light passes through a prism , the violet light bends most and the red light bends the least.
  • Dispersion of light is the phenomenon of splitting of white light into its constituent seven colours on passing through a glass prism.
  • The band of seven Colours so obtained is called visible spectrum.

The seven Colours of white light are Violet, indigo , blue, green , yellow, orange and red . It is remembered by the acronym - VIBGYOR.

ALL colors are in the visible spectrum.

"Color" is a word we use to describe light that our eyes can detect. If the light has a "color", that means we can see it, and somebody gave it a name. If we can't see it, then we don't have a "color" to describe it.

Every color that has ever been perceived by human eyes is present in the humanly-visible spectrum, except "black".

There are at least hundreds of them. Probably thousands. Maybe millions.
