where is white light on the visiable spectrum?

Question

is it closer to ultraviolet or infrared?

Answer 1

white light is composed of all the colours in the visible spectrum..

In other words. all colours together are white light..

Answer 2

White light is how our eyes see the entire visible spectrum when it's all there at once. You can also fake it with just red, green and blue mixed, because of how our eyes work. So it's equally close to ultraviolet and infrared, as those two bracket it.

Answer 3

There is no white light in the spectrum, it is a perceptual construct. There are many types of white light, all related to the human perception of distributions of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths between 400 nm and 700 nm. Natural white light has the same spectral distribution as sunlight (approximately 5000 K black body radiation). The spectral distribution of 'white light' from fluorescent tubes, LED's or incandescent bulbs is different from natural sunlight, but these light sources are engineered to be perceived similarly to natural white light by humans.

Answer 4

White light is not on spectrum because when white light breaks up into different colors of different wavelengths, the spectrum is formed.

Answer 5

As a matter of fact there is no such "single" elctromagnetic wave as "white" light..!!!! White light is a proper mixture of
VIBGYOR (waves in visible spectrum)...thats why it doesn't have a position in the visible spectrum as such...its a COMBINATION!!!!

When u Pass white light through a PRISM in a proper way U'LL OBSERVE VIBGYOR lights at the other side thus proving that white light is composed of all these wavelengths!!!!!

Answer 6

White light is just what our eyes perceive when all of the frequencies of visible light (between infra-red and ultra-violet, exclusive) are present.

If you heat something up, it will first glow invisibly in infra-red, then red, orange, yellow and then white. When it gets to the hotter end and starts emitting green and then blue light, we don't see those colors individually because of the red that is already present, so we see them altogether as white.

Answer 7

'White light' *is* the visible spectrum.
