Detailed explanation-1: -As the full spectrum of visible light travels through a prism, the wavelengths separate into the colors of the rainbow because each color is a different wavelength. Violet has the shortest wavelength, at around 380 nanometers, and red has the longest wavelength, at around 700 nanometers.

Detailed explanation-2: -The color of a light is determined by the energy being radiated by the light’s source. The wavelength of the energy being radiated determines the color we perceive the source to be.

Detailed explanation-3: -The wavelengths and frequencies of the light emitted by an atom (its emission spectrum) is determined by its electronic structure. In the Bohr model shown above you can see that as each electron moves from a higher energy level (orbit) to a lower one, a different color is emitted.

Detailed explanation-4: -We have studied that the colour is caused by the absorption of a specific wavelength The colour of light is determined by the wavelength of light. We know that wavelength is the distance between successive crests of a wave. The red light possesses the longest wavelength while violet has the shortest wavelength.
