उत्तर
The spectrum is the colour band obtained on a screen when white light passes through a prism. The seven prominent colours obtained in the spectrum of white light, in order are Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, and Red.

Make a rainbow
Try to make your own rainbow. You can try this project in the morning or in the evening. Stand with your back towards the Sun. Take a hosepipe or a water pipe used in the garden. Make a fine spray in front of you. You can see different colours of rainbow in the spray.
