light spectrum
Visible wavelength array
The light spectrum is the range of electromagnetic radiation visible to the human eye, spanning wavelengths that produce the colors from red through violet.
A prism separates white light into its spectrum: The rainbow displayed the full light spectrum.
The term sometimes extends to include invisible wavelengths like ultraviolet and infrared.
