ROYGBIV-spectrum status

In the light spectrum, there consist of approximately 7 main, or "primary" colors; Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet. Although the spectrum isn’t necessarily limited to those particular colors, it just so happens that those are the ones you see. In case you did not realize, they are the colors of the rainbow. ROYGBIV goes in order of the least "powerful" light, to the strongest of the lights. So red would then be the weakest of all the colors...which explains why the Sith never win in Star Wars. Although violet is then the strongest, meaning that mace windo, technically had the strongest light saber and should never have lost. Although, that does leave some speculation about the fact there wasn’t any orange or yellow light sabers...Ok, done with the star wars, there was a my little pony episode that had a pony breaking the light spectrum, resulting in the creation of a "sonic rain boom." I’m here to say that there is no possible way that could actually happen, mostly because it isn’t really possible to go so fast that you break the light spectrum…Although that would be very interesting. There was a lab that we did looking at it through a spectroscope. Looking at a normal light, you can see all the colors. If you were to put a blue light in front of the light, you will see every color of the spectrum but blue. You see this because the liquid absorbs all the blue light, and reflects every other light. So, if you were to put a red liquid in front of the light, you would see every color but red. That would be absorbent and reflection.
