Expert Solution
Introduction

From Newton`s disc experiment, visible white light is a mixture of all colors.

When we see a object has color, we actually mean that light of a particular range of wavelengths is reflected more strongly than the light of other wavelengths.

Thus the appearance of color is the result of reflection and absorption of certain wavelengths of light.
