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.

∙ 14y agoBlue has a wavelength of 450-495nm this is shorter than red, orange, yellow and green but it is longer than that of indigo and violet.

Compared to the wavelengths of the color red, or to a footlong subway sandwich, they are short.
Compared to the wavelengths of X-rays, they are long.

What color light has the shortest wave length and the highest frequency?
The visible light with the highest frequency and shortest wavelength is the last, bluest light that you can see at the blue end of the spectrum (rainbow).
What is the color with the shortest wave length?
Visible light wiith the lowest frequency / longest wavelength produces the last color you can see on the red end of the spectrum. Visible light with the highest frequency / shortest wavelength produces the last color you can see on the violet end of the spectrum.
Which light wave has the shortest wavelength and the highest frequency?
VIOLET
What form of electromagnetic radiation has the shortest wave length and highest energy?
microwave
What type of EM radiation has the shortest wave length and the most energy?
gamma rays
What color light has the shortest wave length and the highest frequency?
The visible light with the highest frequency and shortest wavelength is the last, bluest light that you can see at the blue end of the spectrum (rainbow).
Violet light has the shortest wave length?
No violet light does not have the shortest wavelength. Cosmic rays have the shortest wavelenght which is 10-18 m. Due to its shortest wavelength it has the highest frequency and thus it travels the largest distance.
Which color registers the highest frequency shortest wave length?
Of the visible light spectrum, that would be blue light.
In the visible spectrum the color of light that has the shortest wave length is?
Violet, after that comes ultraviolet that the human eye cannot see.
True or false visibe light with the shortest wavelength is red light?
No, red is the longest wavelength of visible light, with the lowest frequency and the least energy. Violet light has the shortest wavelenght, with the highest frequency and the most energy (of visible light).
What is the color with the shortest wave length?
Visible light wiith the lowest frequency / longest wavelength produces the last color you can see on the red end of the spectrum. Visible light with the highest frequency / shortest wavelength produces the last color you can see on the violet end of the spectrum.
What color of light has the lowest wave length?
The visible light with the shortest wavelength is the last color you can see on the blue/violet end of the rainbow. It's not exactly the same for all eyes.
Which light wave has the shortest wavelength and the highest frequency?
VIOLET
What form of radiation is the shortest wave length?
The form that we call "gamma rays".
What form of electromagnetic radiation has the shortest wave length and highest energy?
microwave
How does blue light differ from red light?
red and blue light differ in wave length because blue lights have shorter wave length than red light and shorter wave length are good for plants germination.
What color of visible light has the lowest wave length?
The visible light with the shortest wavelength is the last color you can see on the blue/violet end of the rainbow. It's not exactly the same for all eyes.
