Do we see bands of color in a rainbow because of the physiology of eyes or the way the brain interprets the frequencies? or are those bands of separate colors a product of unequal refraction?
In: Physics
The colors we see are, but the colors existence is not.
The full spectrum of a rainbow goes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, ROYGBV, ultraviolet, x-ray, gamma rays
We can just see ROYGBV.
If we could see the other frequencies, we could classify them into other colors, but the visible light is only a very small.sliver of all possible light
