yes- red has the longest waves while violet has the shortest.

What is light is it one of the fundamental components of understanding colour?
Different amounts of energy contained in different frequencies cause different colours to be perceived by us. It's all in the spectrum of visible light.
Why does black absorb sunlight?
Bonds in molecules absorb light, In black the bonds absorb a lot of visible light frequencies. As black only reflects few frequencies of visible light. it gains it black colour.
Why do different filters affect colour?
They allow different frequencies of light to pass through.
What color are the protons in carbon?
Things like atoms and sub atomic particles are far too small to have colour. We perceive colours from the scattering and absorption of light. The different light frequencies give us different colours. Protons are far, far smaller than any visible light wavelengths, so they can't really be said to have any colour at all.
What do colors have to do with visible light?
The visible light contains wave lenghts from 200nm to 800nm. 200 nm corresponds with the violet/blue colour and 800nm and around corresponds with red colour. Above 800nm wave lenght of the light is called infrared and below 200nm - ultraviolet. The shortest the lenght, the higher the energy. After ultraviolet we have radio waves, micro waves, X-rays, etc.
What is the most visible ball colour for all the different surfaces and conditions in tennis?
the most visible ball in tennis is red yellow.
What causes colour?
Light is made up of radiation of different wavelengths/frequencies; our eyes can perceive some of these differences in wavelengths/frequencies.Light is made up of radiation of different wavelengths/frequencies; our eyes can perceive some of these differences in wavelengths/frequencies.Light is made up of radiation of different wavelengths/frequencies; our eyes can perceive some of these differences in wavelengths/frequencies.Light is made up of radiation of different wavelengths/frequencies; our eyes can perceive some of these differences in wavelengths/frequencies.
What colour is an Ultraviolet ray?
You cannot see ultraviolet rays, you can only see electromagnetic waves that are within the visible light spectrum; therefore it does not have a color. It is simply referred to as ultraviolet because its respective band on the EM spectrum lies above our visible violet frequencies.
How does a flame test work is it something to do with the electron arrangement and orbitals in the atom being tested?
as the energy is converted to the particles, based on density of the particles they vibrate at different frequencies, these frequencys cause waves and they are situated in the visible spectrum, thus allowing you to see light of certain colour depending on the element at hand.
Why the word white is used in the white noise?
This is just a guess, but i think it is because the color white is a mixture of frequncies of light ranging from red to violet, so if you look at the wave pattern, it will look like a complete mess. By contrast, a single colour will have a nice neat wave pattern. Therefore, i would assume that "white" is used as a metaphor for a wave which consists of a mixture of lots of different frequencies. White light is the combination of all visible frequencies of light, white noise is the combination of many (but not all) audible frequencies of sound.
When visible light consist of seven colours so how you see maroon colour?
Visible light consists of every color that can be perceived by the human eye, every color that has ever been painted, and every color that has ever been named. there are an infinite number of them. Every frequency (wavelength) is a different "color". If you name two frequencies within the visible range, then no matter how close together they are, I can always name a different frequency that's in between your two. School children learn to name seven colors in the rainbow. But if you look between any two of those, you see many different shades.
What colour becomes less visible in the depths of the coral reef?
the colour is white
