The Physics And Chemistry Of Color - The Fiftee... Info

At its core, color is —a tiny slice of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Each color has a specific wavelength. Red has the longest (about 700 nanometers), while violet has the shortest (about 400 nm). The Physics and Chemistry of Color - The Fiftee...

When light passes through different mediums (like a glass prism or a raindrop), it slows down and bends. Since different wavelengths bend at different angles, the white light splits into the classic rainbow: ROYGBIV. 2. The Chemistry: Atoms and Electrons At its core, color is —a tiny slice
