Why do we see red in violet?

We see red light from the higher drops because it is directed towards the observer’s eyes. Violet light is directed above the level of the eyes so we do not see it. In the lower drops red light is directed below the eye level and violet light is visible to the observer.

Why do we see violet?

Violet is light which has a shorter wavelength as blue. Our eyes are sensible to such wavelength, so we see (as humans) such light.

Which Colour is at the lower end of the visible spectrum?

Light at the lower end of the visible spectrum, having a longer wavelength, about 740 nm, is seen as red; light in the middle of the spectrum is seen as green; and light at the upper end of the spectrum, with a wavelength of about 380 nm, is seen as violet.

Is red on both ends of the spectrum?

Red and violet are on opposite ends of the spectrum, yet we perceive violet as being between blue and red.

What is the end of the light spectrum?

On one end of the spectrum is red light, with the longest wavelength. Blue or violet light has the shortest wavelength. White light is a combination of all colors in the color spectrum. It has all the colors of the rainbow.

Where is violet on the color spectrum?

Optics. Violet is at one end of the spectrum of visible light, between blue light, which has a longer wavelength, and ultraviolet light, which has a shorter wavelength and is not visible to humans. Violet encompasses light with a wavelength of approximately 380 to 450 nanometers.

Why is violet light purple?

Purple is formed by mixing red and blue in a ratio close to 1:1, whereas violet is perceived by your eyes as containing more blue than red. You can have a source of monochromatic violet light (i.e. a source producing just a single wavelength), but everything that looks purple must emit both red and blue light.

Which colour is in the upper end of the visible spectrum?

The spectrum of wavelengths we can see (visible light) ranges from 380 nm (blue) to 700 nm (red). Below this spectrum is ultraviolet, after which we have blue and at the top of the spectrum of visible light is red, after which we have infrared.
