DISPERSION

The splitting of light into a range of colors is called dispersion. This occurs when light interacts with a prism or a diffraction grating, causing the different wavelengths of light to separate and form a spectrum of colors.
The range of colors is called a spectrum. This refers to the full range of colors that can be produced by the visible light spectrum, typically ranging from red to violet.
White light is composed of many colours. When these colours combine, they look white. One way of showing that white light is composed of different colours is to make white light pass through a glass prism. This splits up the white light into its constituent colours. I f you hold a screen in its path, you will see a band of colours. This band of colours is called the spectrum. Since it is visible to human eyes, it is called the visible spectrum.
The range of colors that white light can be split into is called the visible spectrum. It consists of colors such as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
The range of colors of which white light is made up is called the visible spectrum. It includes colors like red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
The waves with a length of 0.4-0.7 micrometers are considered to be in the visible spectrum, specifically in the range of red light to violet light. This range corresponds to wavelengths commonly associated with colors we can see with our eyes.
