The colour of light is related to its wavelength. Wavelength can be defined as the distance between two crests or troughs of a wave. It is inversely proportional to the frequency of the wave. The table below gives the relation between the wavelength and colour of light. In the table, the wavelengths are given in nanometres (1 nanometre = ). Note that among visible lights, red has the longest wavelength, while violet has the shortest.
In 1666, the English scientist Issac Newton (1642-1727) passed a narrow beam of light through a glass prism. As the light exiting the prism, Newton could see the colours of the rainbow. Newton realised that white light consists of all the colours of the visible spectrum. He listed the colours making up this spectrum as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. When all the colours shine at once, they produce white light.
Each colour of light is a wave with a different wavelength and frequency. The wavelengths of visible light are extremely small, ranging from violet light with wavelengths around 400 nm(nanometers) to red light with wavelengths around 700nm. To get an idea of how small this is, consider that 1 nm(nanometre) = 0.000 000 009 m = . This means that the wavelengths of visible light are less than one-thousandth of a millimetre long, or about one-hundredth the width of a human hair.

Abhyas is a complete education Institute. Here extreme care is taken by teacher with the help of regular exam. Extra classes also conducted by the institute, if the student is weak.
About Abhyas metholodology the teachers are very nice and hardworking toward students.The Centre Head Mrs Anu Sethi is also a brilliant teacher.Abhyas has taught me how to overcome problems and has always taken my doubts and suppoeted me.
My experience was very good with Abhyas academy. I am studying here from 6th class and I am satisfied by its results in my life. I improved a lot here ahead of school syllabus.
One of the best institutes to develope a child interest in studies.Provides SST and English knowledge also unlike other institutes. Teachers are co operative and friendly online tests andPPT develope practical knowledge also.
It was a good experience with Abhyas Academy. I even faced problems in starting but slowly and steadily overcomed. Especially reasoning classes helped me a lot.
Being a parent, I saw my daughter improvement in her studies by seeing a good result in all day to day compititive exam TMO, NSO, IEO etc and as well as studies. I have got a fruitful result from my daughter.
It was good as the experience because as we had come here we had been improved in a such envirnment created here.Extra is taught which is beneficial for future.
My experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.
A marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.
It has a great methodology. Students here can get analysis to their test quickly.We can learn easily through PPTs and the testing methods are good. We know that where we have to practice
