What colour of the spectrum has the greatest wavelength?

The longest visible wavelength is that of the last coloryou can see on the red end of the spectrum.


Why are carotenoids coloured?

Carotenoids have conjugated bonds. Wavelengths of visible light are absorbed when electrons are excited to higher energy levels. The complementary colour is to that absorbed is observed.


Why plants look like green?

The color that something appears is related to the wavelengths of light that it absorbs. White light contains many different wavelengths. Different objects absorb different wavelengths contained in light. The color than an object appears to our eyes is actually determined by the wavelength of light in the visible spectrum that the object does not absorb. Instead the object reflects this light back at us.


What are the different rays of the electromagnetic spectrum?

Only a very small part of the electromagnetic spectrum is visible to humans. This is the only part that can be considered to be light, with the quality of colour. The main difference between the colour of light is its wavelength, the shorter the waveliength the more blue the light the longer the wavelength the more red the light. So visible light with a frequence of between 4x10-7 and 7x10-7 are the only electromagnetic waves that give colour when separated. But all electromagnetic radiation can be split into bands of isotopic wavelength.


Is ultraviolet radiation a higher or lower energy radiation than visible light?

Ultraviolet radiation is of higher energy than visible light. Ultra-violet suggests that it is above violet in the spectrum, and the colour violet is the uppermost region of visible light.

What wave length of light is the shortest?

Violet is actually the shortest wavelength, as you consider the color spectrum. After blue comes indigo, then violet. So blue is the third shortest. The color spectrum ranges from red to violet, with red being the longest. Naturally, violet would then be the shortest. Of course this goes for human visible wavelengths. Ultraviolet light is shorter in wavelength, but not human visible. Xrays have even shorter wavelengths, but they also are not human visible. Gamma rays are the shortest of all, but again not human visible.


The color of the light is determined by what of the light waves?

The colour of an object is determined by the wavelengths of light it reflects. An object that is purley one wavelength (lets say a specific wavelength in the blue part of the spectrum) would be absorbing all visable wavelengths except that specific blue wavelength.


Which color light has a longer wavelength?

The colour of visible light with the longest wavelength is red (approximately 700 nanometres).


What color bulls hate most?

There is no colour on the visible colour spectrum that any bull hates. Bulls are only attracted to movement, not colour.


Can someone Make a new colour?

Technically, no, computers have generated them all from the visible spectrum.


What wavelengths can humans see?

Visible Light is the name of the wavelength range that the human eyes can see. The range is about 400 -700 nanometres (nm) and a colour range of violet through to red. The human eye is not capable of "seeing" radiation with wavelengths outside the Visible Spectrum. However there is some stuff going around that children can see ultraviolet. I don't know if it true, but still.


What color of light has the longest wavelength and the shortest?

The color RED has the longest wavelenth, and the color VIOLET has the shortest wavelenth. ---- Also Wavelenth is inversely propotional to frequency, so we can also say that color VIOLET has longest frequency and color RED has the shortest. VIBGYOR V-Violet (Highest Frequency, Shortest Wavelenth) I-Indigo B-Blue G-Green Y-Yellow O-Orange R-Red (Highest Wavelenth,Shortest Frequency)
