RGB values of visible spectrum

Question

I need an algorithm or function to map each wavelength of visible range of spectrum to its equivalent RGB values. Is there any structural relation between the RGB System an

Answer 1

I think the answers fail to address a problem with the actual question.

RGB values are generally derived from the XYZ color space which is the combination of a standard human observer function, an illuminate and the relative power of the sample at each wavelength over the range of ~360-830.

I'm not sure of what you are trying to achieve here but it would be possible to calculate a relatively "accurate" RGB value for a sample where each discrete band of the spectrum @ say 10nm was fully saturated. The transform looks like this Spectrum ->XYZ->RGB. Check out Bruce Lindbloom's site for the math. From the XYZ you can also easily calculate hue, chroma or colorimetric values such as L*a*b*.
