quantum optics - the frequency of the white light


A white light, as we all know, is composed of seven lights VIBGYOR. Each of the component lights has distinct frequency ranging from one value to another. So, when the photons have wavelength of 600 nm it becomes a yellow light and when it changes to 700 nm it becomes a red light. So, does this imply that the frequency with which a group of photons vibrate determine the colour of light? Well, in that case, with what frequencies are photons vibrating for a white light?

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
