The longest wavelengths of light are the lowest frequencies (and the lowest energy and the longest period, too). These are the reds, and moving up the spectrum, we encounter orange, yellow, green, blue and violet. The violet light has the shortest wavelength (highest frequency), and the highest energy. The infrared (IR) is below the red (longer wavelength and lower frequency), and the ultraviolet (UV) is above the violet (shorter wavelength and higher frequency).

The red end of the visible spectrum is the end where the light wavelengths are longest.
The blue end of the visible spectrum is the end where the light wavelengths are shortest.
Between those extremes lie every color that the eye can perceive.

What color groups correctly shows increasing wavelength?
VIBGYOR= Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red, although indigo isn't really used too much anymore. This is the order of increasing wavelength, while the order of increasing frequency (the inverse of wavelength) is the more commonly known order, ROYGBIV.
What is the order of colors of light waves?
The order of light waves is the same order as the colors of the rainbow. The order is Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet. The colors are ordered based on their wavelength, with red being the longest wavelength, and Violet being the shortest. Source: http://science.hq.nasa.gov/kids/imagers/ems/visible.html
Why are the colors in rainbows always in order?
The colors line up the way they do based on their wavelengths. Red has the largest wavelength, orange's is a little smaller, yellow smaller, and so forth until you get to purple (indigo & violet), which has the smallest wavelength. Because these wavelengths never change, the colors are always in that order.
Which of the following is an effect of increasing the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave?
Increasing the wavelength results in decreasing the frequency and decreasing the energy.
The electromagnetic spectrum arranges waves in order of?
Radio, microwaves, infrared,visible light, ultraviolet, x- rays, and gamma rays.
What are the colors of visible light in order of increasing wavelength.?
The colours of visible light (to humans) are the colours of the rainbow. Red has the longest wavelength and violet the shortest. There is some argument as to whether indigo should be included but if it isn't, the colours in increasing wavelength are violet, blue, green, yellow, orange and red.

Why is the order of the 7 colors of a rainbow always the same?
The amount by which light is bent depends on its wavelength. The colors are arranged in the order of their wavelengths.
The order of colors observed in the visible light spectrum is determined by the?
Colors are ordered by frequency, or equivalently, by wavelength.

When they say Increasing wavelength Referring to spectrum do they mean short wavelengths?
increasing wavelength means shorter frequency.
Which of the following is an effect of increasing the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave?
Increasing the wavelength results in decreasing the frequency and decreasing the energy.
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)
In which are the forms of electromagnetic energy arranged in order from longest to shortest wavelength?
The colors of visible light
The electromagnetic spectrum arranges waves in order of?
Radio, microwaves, infrared,visible light, ultraviolet, x- rays, and gamma rays.
Increasing the wavelength of a wave will most likely?
Increasing a wave's wavelength will most certainly decrease its frequency. See Physics.
