Most of us know the order of a rainbow’s colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, dark blue, purple – but my question is why is the order like this, and not different? Does this has something to do with some ultra high level of physics?
Also this is my first ever ELI5, if I’m doing something wrong feel free to point it out for me.
In: Physics
It’s not some ultra high level of physics, it’s wave lengths. Red having the longest wavelength and violet having the shortest, which is why ROYGBIV is the order of every rainbow.
