False it is from red to violet

Explanation:

  • The Sun transmits solar energy/sunlight through electromagnetic waves in a range of wavelengths referred to as the Solar Spectrum. The "solar spectrum" is divided into 3 bands.  These are  visible light, ultra -violet, & infra-red light. Only the "visible-light"  can be seen by the human eye.
  • The term light refers to a type of "electromagnetic wave" which stimulates the eyes' retina. It is  a small spectrum from the "huge range of frequencies" of electromagnetic radiation.
  • A continuum of wavelengths ranging from about 700 nanometers (abbreviated nm) to around 400 Nm comprises this visible light region. The spectrum of wavelengths ranges from 7 x 10^7 metres to 4 x 10^7 metres represented in more common units. This  band of visible light is called ROYGBIV.
  • Every wavelength is indicative of a specific colour within the spectrum of visible wavelengths. This is when light reaches the retina in our eyes through that specific wavelength, we experience that unique sense in colour. Isaac Newton proved that a prism is separated into its varied wave-lengths and display the various colours which the visible light comprises. This separation of visible light into its varied  colours is referred to as dispersion.
  • Colours which can be produced by the visible light of a "narrow band" of "wavelengths" (mono-chromatic light) are called "pure spectral colours". Dispersion of visible light produces the colors red (R), orange (O), yellow (Y), green (G), blue (B), and violet (V).   This narrow band of visible light is is referred to as ROYGBIV.

The visible spectrum of light ranges from 4 -7000 that is violet to red.

Explanation:

  • The visible spectrum is part of the electromagnetic spectrum that visible to the human eye. The human eyes respond to the wavelength from 380 to 750 nm.  
  • Newton originally divided the spectrum into six colors as red, orange, yellow, green blue and violet. He added indigo asa the seventh color. The colour display of the spectrum increases from violet to red.
