What makes the colors of the rainbow




Light travels in waves depending on how big or small the waves are. It determines the color; for example, short wave-lights appear blue and long wave-lights appear red. Sunlight is made up of many wavelengths so that makes us see the colors of the rainbow.When the light enters the water, it bends causing its shape. Different colors of light have different frequencies, which causes them to travel at different speeds when they move through matter.
