How do we know a visable spectrum exists in White Light ?
The existance of varying wavelengths was confirmed by Newton when he used a glass prisim to absorb
White light (Daylight), he found the prisim refracted the White light (Daylight) as individual as
individual wavelengths.
Newtons experiment with the prisim explained Absorption and Refractiuon as seen by the human
eye. The prisim is made of glass; therefore is completely without pigments. Thereby it is completely
transparent. When all the visible wavelengths in White light (Daylight) are absorbed they separate
into individual wavelengths at different angles when refracted..
