Darker colors like violet and blue actually have the shortest wavelengths and the highest frequency. If you look at the visible spectrum, the order from highest to lowest would go violet, blue, green, yellow, orange, red.

How do you perceive the different frequencies of light waves?
Different frequencies of visible light are perceived as different colors.
What do different colors of visible light represent?
Different electromagnetic wavelengths/frequencies.
What is The separation of light into colors arranged by their frequencies called?
Diffraction.
If colors have different wavelengths do they have different frequencies and temperatures?
Yes, light is electromagnetic waves. The longest wavelengths have the lowest frequencies and the lowest temperatures. The shortest wavelengths have the highest frequencies and the highest temperatures.
Are the frequencies of ultraviolet waves slightly higher than visible light?
Ultraviolet light extends for quite a ways up the electromagnetic spectrum after visible violet ends. Its frequencies are higher. Wavelengths from 400nm to 50nm covering 4 groups of UV.
Are there waves of light and sound?
Yes. Sound waves have different frequencies which cause them to be louder/softer/higher/lower.Light waves have different frequencies too. The shorter the distance between the wavelenghts the darker the color. White light (the normal light the sun gives) is all of the colors together
What is Ultraviolet lights?
Ultraviolet light (UV light) is light of shorter wavelength than the visible spectrum. Many insects, like bees, see mostly UV light so they can find plants with nectar. Sunlight contains UV light and can tan but also damage your skin if you stay outside too long on a sunny day.Answer:Visible light is electromagnet radiation of different frequencies. The different frequencies are the different colors. Just outside the range of frequencies (colors) humans can see are infrared and ultraviolet. Ultraviolet is higher frequency and infrared is lower.Note: Higher frequencies are shorter wavelengths and lower frequencies are longer wavelengths.Visible light is electromagnet radiation of different frequencies.

How do you perceive the different frequencies of light waves?
Different frequencies of visible light are perceived as different colors.
How does a prism works to separate the colors in white light?
White light has all visible frequencies incorporated in it. A prism refracts different frequencies at different angles so the different frequencies (colors) spread out.
What did you observe about the wavelengths and frequencies of the different colors of light?
A higher frequency means a shorter wavelength, and a lower frequency means a longer wavelength.
Are darker colors more absorbent of light than lighter colors?
Yes
Are there three frequencies of sound able to create all other frequencies like the three colors of light?
No.
What effect does changing the frequency have on light waves?
Different frequencies of light are different colors.
How does light produce a three dimensional image?
Contrasting colors. Light colors stack onto darker shades.
How do you do a science project on what makes darker colors absorb more heat than lighter colors?
HypothesisWhen a color (colored fabric) absorbs light, it turns the light into thermal energy (heat). The more light a color absorbs, the more thermal energy it produces. Black fabric absorbs all colors of light and is therefore warmer than white fabric which reflects all light. The colors of the spectrum appearing the darkest and most like black (violet, indigo, and forest green) will produce the most thermal energy. The other colors (red, orange, and yellow), will produce the least thermal energy because they appear lighter or more like white. Red light has the longest wavelength and lowest frequency in the visible light spectrum whilst violet light has the shortest wavelength and highest frequency. Wavelength is the distance a wave travels in the time it takes to complete one oscillation. Wavelengths of visible light range from 700 to 400 millionths of a millimetre. Frequency is the number of times each second electrical and magnetic fields oscillate or reach their maximum strength. Visible light has frequencies from 430 to 750 THz. The higher the frequency the shorter the wavelength, and vice versa. Any experiment on heat absorption by darker colours will provide evidence that darker colors, while reflecting shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies, absorb light with longer wavelengths and lower frequencies(LESS OSCILLATIONS PER SECOND), which translates thermally as heat within the absorptive medium.What colours are Caterpillars
What did you observe about the wavelength and frequencies of the different colors of light?
A higher frequency means a shorter wavelength, and a lower frequency means a longer wavelength.
What is white light frequency?
White light is a mixture of different colors; so there are different frequencies.
