Red light has a longer wavelength than blue light, (i.e. greater distance for one oscillation of red light compared to blue light) so there are less oscillations in the same period of time for red light, and thus red light has a lower frequency than blue light.
More concisely: Wavelength = Wavespeed / Frequency , where wavespeed is constant
So Frequency = Wavespeed / Wavelength
Therefore as wavelength increases, frequency decreases.
Make sense?

We know that for any wave the product of it's wavelength and frequency is constant. Now as Red light has longer wavelength than violet it's frequency must be lower than that of violet light. So violet has a greater frequency.
-- The lowest frequency visible light is the last color you can see
on the red end of the spectrum.
-- The highest frequency visible light is the last color you can see
on the blue end of the spectrum.
Green light is composed of waves whose frequency is higher than those of red light.
Red light waves have the lowest frequency of any visible light. Violet light waves have the highest.
Longer wavelength always means lower frequency. Shorter wavelength always means
higher frequency. When you multiply them together, the answer is always the same
number ... the speed of the wave.
Actually, blue light does have a shorter wavelength than red light. If red light had the shorter wavelength, then the sky might appear red instead of blue.
blue light has a higher frequency and red light is the lowest color frequency.
Red is longer ... thus it's wavelength is longer.

no
the higher the frequency, the higher the energy
the higher the energy, the higher the frequency
Indigo has a higher frequency..
Orange has a longer wavelength than yellow. On the spectrum of visible light red is longest and violet is shortest.
No, red light is lower frequency than green light.
no
the higher the frequency, the higher the energy
the higher the energy, the higher the frequency
The color, the frequency, and the wavelength.

The bright green light has a higher frequency (shorter wavelength) and a smaller amplitude than the dim red light.
Green light. If you use the abbreviation ROY G. Biv ( red, orange yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet), you will always know that the red light has the longest wavelength and violet has the smallest wavelength. Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional to one another. So if the wavelength is large, frequency is small, and when wavelength is small, frequency is large. Green light has a smaller wavelength than yellow. Likewise it has a higher frequency than yellow does. Therefore, green light has a higher frequency than yellow light.
The higher the frequency the more towards the "bluer" end of the spectrum one moves. So violet is higher frequency than green which in turn is greater than red.
Indigo has a higher frequency..
Orange has a longer wavelength than yellow. On the spectrum of visible light red is longest and violet is shortest.
