I know that pink light is a mixture of red and white, but I don't 
know what the wavelength becomes when all the visible wavelengths 
are mixed, so I don't know the wavelength of red light.  Pink 
light isn't in a spectrum, so how does red mix with white to get 
pink.  What is the wavelength of pink light, and why is it not 
included in the visible spectrum.  (real pink, not hot pink)?
