Choosing the Right Color: 1  Light color is measured on a temperature scale referred to as Kelvin (K). 2  Lower Kelvin numbers mean the light appears more yellow; higher Kelvin numbers mean the light is whiter or bluer. 3  Most ENERGY STAR certified bulbs are made to match the color of incandescent bulbs at 2200-3000K. For a whiter light, look for bulbs marked 3500-4100K. For bluer white light, look for bulbs marked 5000-6500K.
Visible Light. Visible Light Waves Visible light waves are the only electromagnetic waves we can see. We see these waves as the colors of the rainbow. Each color has a different wavelength. Red has the longest wavelength and violet has the shortest wavelength. When all the waves are seen together, they make white light.
Rainbows appearing during the rain after the rains or due to mist are a beautiful natural phenomena. One can see the beautiful seven colors that it comprise, across the sky after or during the rain and when the sun is present as well. When sunlight passes through these raindrops at a specific angle, the light gets split into the spectrum, which is made up of the various colors. 2  And thus, we get to see this lovely sight. 3  A rainbow similar to music is made of the same stuff, except for vibrating at a different frequency.
