उत्तर

White light is a composition of seven colours. These are violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red, collectively known as VIBGYOR. Spectrum of white light consists of  sever colour bands. Each band consists of some range of wavelengths or frequencies.

For orange colour : (590 nm to 620 nm)

For red colour: (620 nm to 780 nm)

So, the colour of 620 nm and 780 nm lights may be different. But the colour of 620 nm light and 621 nm light is same.
