Whenever light passes through a prism or lens, it is dispersed or
separated into all the colors which it contains, and a band of colors
produced in this way is called a spectrum. If we examine such a
spectrum we find the following colors in order, each color
imperceptibly fading into the next: violet, indigo, blue, green,
yellow, orange, red.


128. Sunlight or White Light. White light or sunlight can be
dispersed or separated into the primary colors or rainbow hues, as
shown in the preceding Section. What seems even more wonderful is that
these spectral colors can be recombined so as to make white light.
