Atomic Spection



The image above is a scanned paper, that I had drawn.  It is a model showing the certain spectrum colors you can see when looking through the colors labeled at the top of the picture.  
This is a model showing you the nanometer ratings for all of the different colors.  In this model it points out how the purple has a shorter frequency than the red.  Meaning the wavelengths are closer to gather and happening faster that the red light.  This is a hard concept to grasp, but one way you can think of it is like a sound wave.  The higher pitch notes are like the purple colors, they are traveling faster and have a shorter frequency.  Then the really low notes are like the red color, drawn out and longer frequency.  Light is definitely a lot more complicated the more you dig into it, but this is a brief explanation of how it all works.
