How are the light waves of colours different from each other?

Each color has a different frequency and wavelength; with red having the longest wavelength and lowest frequency of all the visible colors & violet having the shortest wavelength and highest frequency of the colors humans can see.


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 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)


What Light waves of what color have shortest wavelength and the highest frequency?

That would be the last color you can see on the violet end of the spectrum. The exact point at which it's no longer visible varies among individuals and their eyes.


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).

Which color of the visible light portion the the electromagnetic spectrum has the lowest frequency and the least energy?

The last color you can see at the red end has the lowest frequency,longest wavelength, least energy per photon.The last color you can see at the violet end has the highest frequency,shortest wavelength, most energy per photon.

What color of light in the visible spectrum has the highest frequency?

The highest frequency/shortest wavelength of visible light isthe last color you can see on the blue end of the spectrum.


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.


Why does a color decide to be the color it is?

The colour of the object we see is due to the light which it reflects. the difference in colours are due to the difference in wavelength and frequency of the light wave.


Which color of visible light has the highest frequency?

blueee!!


Which wavelength has the lowest frequency?

The longest one does. If you're talking about visible light, then it's the last color you can see on the red end. If you're talking about the electromagnetic spectrum in general, then there's no such thing as the "lowest" frequency.

If the frequency is doubled then for waves what would be the wavelength and vlocity?

Frequency = Velocity divided by wavelength. So if frequency is doubled that means velocity is doubled but the wavelength is halved. You can see this by keeping wavelength a constant : If Frequency =1 and Wavelength= 1 1= Velocity/1 Velocity=1 If Frequency =2 and Wavelength= 1 2= Velocity/1 Velocity =2 OR keeping Velocity constant: If Frequency =1 and Velocity= 1 1= 1/Wavelength Wavelength =1 If Frequency =2 and Velocity= 1 2= 1/Wavelength Wavelength=1/2


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).
