Question

What do the different colors of visible light represent?

kinds of pigments

kinds of atoms

shapes of photons

wavelengths of energy

Answer 1

The correct answer is "wavelengths of energy".

Step-by-step explanation:

The colors that are visible to our human eyes are given by a certain spectrum of light defined by a range of wavelengths of energy. A typical human eye can see a spectrum of wavelengths of energy that are from about 380 to 740 nanometers. The colors of the visible light range from violet (380–450 nm) to red (625–740 nm).

Answer 2

The right answer is Wavelengths of energy.

White light is made up of all colors. The rainbow is actually the decomposition of white light by droplets of water like a prism.

Each color corresponds to an electromagnetic radiation of particular frequency and wavelength.

The sensitivity of the eye is maximum around 550 nm, in the yellow-green. The spectrum of visible light ranges from 400 to 780 nm but its perception depends on each individual (tastes and colors ...).
