Visible light spectrum, artwork C016 / 9845
Visible light spectrum. Computer artwork showing the visible light section of the electromagnetic spectrum. Wavelength increases from top to bottom. Below the visible light spectrum is infrared light, above it is ultraviolet light. In this graphic, the waves are simplified and arranged as a linear array, whose wavelengths increment by 50 nm

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Visible Light Spectrum" takes us on a mesmerizing journey through the electromagnetic spectrum. Created by the talented artist Russell Kightley, this computer-generated illustration showcases the section of light that is visible to our human eyes. Against a striking black background, a linear array of simplified waves in vibrant colors stretches from top to bottom. Each wave represents a specific wavelength incrementing by 50 nm, allowing us to visualize how different hues come together to form white light. Starting with energetic violet at the top and gracefully transitioning through indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, and finally ending with radiant red at the bottom. This arrangement beautifully demonstrates how wavelengths determine the various colors we perceive in our surroundings. Intriguingly positioned below the visible light spectrum lies infrared light - invisible yet essential for heat detection - while above it resides ultraviolet light with its powerful properties often associated with sunburns and UV rays. Through this stunning artistic representation of physics and optics intertwined with vibrant colors and precise measurements, Kightley invites us to appreciate both the beauty and complexity of our visual world. It serves as an awe-inspiring reminder that even within what we can see lies an entire spectrum waiting to be explored.
