   Spectrum
   Electromagnetic radiation arranged in order of wavelength. A rainbow is a natural spectrum of visible light from the Sun. Spectra are often punctuated with emission or absorption lines, which can be examined to reveal the composition and motion of the radiating source.

   Spectrum
   In electromagnetics, the spectrum of a signal refers to the description of a signal's amplitudeversus its frequency components. In optics, spectrum refers to the various light frequencies composing the white light which can be seen as rainbow colours, when separated.

    Spectrum
    (1) A range of wavelengths (as in, 'the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum'). (2) The variation of some function over a range of wavelengths. Examples of such functions might be power or number of photons passing through an area per unit time, or percentage of light reflected or absorbed by an object or substance.
