The short answer is that light is energy of course it is a lot more complicated than that. In class we burned different chemicals and they all produced different colors. We later learned that because of the different atoms in the chemicals. The way/speed that atoms release energy create different colors. How we see these colors are in wave lengths. These different colors are on the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum is a scale of wave lengths starting with long waves like radio waves. It moves over to shorter waves like radiation. Within this spectrum are the colors we can see. These colors are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. These also start with longer wave lengths to shorter starting at red. These let wave lengths from the energy of the atoms and create color and light for us to see.
