Does ROY G. BIV list colors from long wavelength to short wavelength or short to long wavelength?

The color of visible light with the longest wavelength is red; the color with the shortest
is violet. So "ROY G. BIV" lists the colors from long to short wavelength.
Just to confuse you, we'll also mention that it lists them from lowest to highest frequency.

What are the colors of visible light in order?
Going from short wavelength light to long wavelength light, the order goes Red - Orange - Yellow - Green - Blue - Indigo - Violet (ROYGBIV)
Is Long wavelength visible light have a speed that is slower than short wavelength light?
No. The speed of light is the same for long wave and short wave light. c=fw where w is the wavelength and f is the frequency. The speed c is a constant. The frequency is different for different wavelengths. High frequency for short waves and low frequency for long waves.
Are the wavelengths of high frequency sounds short or long?
Shorter the wavelength higher the frequency so naturally high frequency soundwaves are short
What are the three different type of cone cells?
Cone cells, or cones, are one of the two types of photoreceptor cells that are in the retina of the eye which are responsible for color vision as well as eye color sensitivity; they function best in relatively bright light, as opposed to rod cells that work better in dim light.
Why the rainbow colors arrange like that?
You get it because of the wave length of the waves go from long to short
Do radio waves have short or long wavelength?
Short wavelength
What are the colors of visible light in order?
Going from short wavelength light to long wavelength light, the order goes Red - Orange - Yellow - Green - Blue - Indigo - Violet (ROYGBIV)
What wave would have more enery one with a long wavelength or a short wavelength?
Both a wave with long wavelength and a wave with short wavelength can have a lot of energy, or little energy.Specifically in the case of electromagnetic waves, a short wavelength corresponds to high energy - but this is only the energy PER PHOTON. But note that each of such waves usually consists of a lot of photons.
Which wavelength carries more energy short or long?
Short wavelength wave carry not energy (in proportion to their frequency.)
What is the opposite of long wavelength?
Short wavelengths.
What affects light with short wavelength more than light with long wavelength?
Scattering of light
What has lots of different colors?
A long list of colors
Is infrared light too long wavelength or too short wavelength to be seen?
I looked it up in my physics text book and it says that the wavelength is too long to be seen by the human eye.
Does a pitched baseball have a long wavelength or a short wavelength?
There is a simple answer and a complicated answer. The simple anser is, "Neither", the complicated answer is , "It depends."
What are the wavelength's of electromagnetic radiation?
The wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation extend from any long wavelength, withno upper limit no matter how long, continuously through all possible wavelengths, withno gaps, down to any short wavelength, with no lower limit no matter how short.
Does the red light have a short or long wavelength?
Blue light has shorter wavelength than red light. Remember ROYGBIV? If you reverse the sequence - VIBGYOR, you have all the colors listed from shortest wavelength to longest wavelength in the visible spectrum. Or, you can just simply consult an electromagnetic (EM) spectrum.
Is Long wavelength visible light have a speed that is slower than short wavelength light?
No. The speed of light is the same for long wave and short wave light. c=fw where w is the wavelength and f is the frequency. The speed c is a constant. The frequency is different for different wavelengths. High frequency for short waves and low frequency for long waves.
