Where does ROYGBIV stand?
Each letter in Roy G Biv stands for the initial of one of the colors in a rainbow that forms in the sky or when white light is refracted or bent as it passes through water vapor in the atmosphere or a prism.
What does Roygbiv means what part of the electromagnetic spectrum does it refer to?
visible light
This narrow band of visible light is affectionately known as ROYGBIV. Dispersion of visible light produces the colors red (R), orange (O), yellow (Y), green (G), blue (B), and violet (V). It is because of this that visible light is sometimes referred to as ROY G. BIV.
What is Roygbiv in science?
The colors of the visible light spectrum are often referred to as ROYGBIV, which stands for: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. This is the order of the wavelengths of visible light starting with red (the longest) and ending with violet (the shortest).
Where do the ROYGBIV colors come from?
The raindrops act as prisms, and when sunlight passes through them, the wavelengths in white light are refracted by the drops to reveal the colors of the rainbow. The colors we see always go from red, which is least refracted, through orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet — Roy G Biv.
