Different colour photons (particles) are created by the different amounts
of energy released from individual atoms, The amounts of energy in these
particles when massed determins the colour and wavelength.
(Please see Fig. 2)
The above wavelengths are joined with invisible wavelengths, radio and
infra red wavelengths at the low end of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Ultraviolet, x-ray and gamma rays at the high end of the electromagnetic
spectrum.
When all these wavelengths are mixed together they create an
Electromagnetic field (Daylight) Light travels for ever until it is absorbed
by something it hits.
Once light is absorbed into an object it reflects corresponding wavelengths
to the pigments within that object.
