Question

Which type of electromagnetic waves make up the colors of a rainbow seen after a storm?

Answer 1

The correct answer to the question is Visible light.

EXPLANATION:

A rainbow is visible to our naked eye. It contains all the seven constituent colors of a white light ranging from violet to red. Generally it is formed after  a storm. It is due to the fact that different colors of light has different wavelength. When the white light falls on the water particles present in the atmosphere, all the colors deviate at different angles after their refraction through water particles, and the spectrum is obtained.

The infrared wave, X- rays and ultraviolet rays are not visible to our eye.

The visible light is that electromagnetic wave which helps us to view any object. It contains the seven colors just like a rainbow i.e ranging from violet to red.

All the colors present in a rainbow corresponds to visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum .

Hence, visible light is that electromagnetic wave which makes up the colors of a rainbow seen after a storm.

Answer 2

Visible light waves are the type of electromagnetic waves that make up the colors of the rainbow, because the rainbow is visible to us.
