A rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon that causes a spectrum of light to appear in the sky when the Sun shines onto droplets of moisture in the Earth's atmosphere. They take the form...

When white light shines through a prism, the white light is broken apart into the colors of the visible light spectrum. Water vapor in the atmosphere can also break apart wavelengths creating a rainbow.

Isaac Newton showed that not only can a triangular prism separate a beam of sunlight into rainbow colors (that had already been known), but also that, when a second prism brings the different colors together again, white light is once more obtained. ... Cool atoms absorb the same wavelengths as the ones they emit when hot-

White light (such as sunlight) and colors are closely related. A piece of glass or crystal can cause a beam of sunlight to break up into a rainbow: a beautiful separation of colors. The technical term for a rainbow ... To understand how objects produce color, imagine an object that reflects all wavelengths of light equally.

What a rainbow or a prism does is break down light into "pure" single wavelengths, and the colors of the rainbow include all the different possible wavelengths of visible light.

The human eye is not capable of "seeing" radiation with wavelengths outside the visible spectrum. The visible colors from shortest to longest wavelength are: violet, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red. Ultraviolet radiation has a shorter wavelength than the visible violet light.

Colors are frequency wavelengths that we conect with based on grid (matrix) attraction. Primary colors following a spectrum called ROYGBIV or the rainbow spectrum.

The machine, called Airborne Visible-Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS), measures 224 wavelengths of light for each point in the image, including both visible light, and the longer wavelength infra-red light adjacent to the visible spectrum.
