The shortest wavelength of light that's visible to you is that of the last color that

you can see on the blue end of the rainbow. It's not exactly the same for all eyes.

Does violet have the shortest wavelengths?

Yes, out of all the colors of visible light, violet has the shortest wavelength.


Radiation whose wavelengths are among the shortest are?

Gamma rays. If you mean visible light, that would be the blue light.


What are the three wavelengths that are shorter than visible light?

There are an infinite number of wavelengths above visible, below visible, and within visible. Since reality has infinite resolution, we can imagine varying the wavelength with infinite division. To call out bands of wavelength: Ultraviolet, X-rays, & Gamma rays.


Who have longer wavelengths visible light or radio waves?

The longest radio wave used for communication is around 3 millimeters long. The shortest visible wavelength of light is around 0.0004 millimeters long.


Light energy with wavelengths longer than visible red?

Light energy with wavelengths longer than visible red is infrared light.


What wave length of light is the shortest?

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.


Why do you call the visible light part of the EMS visible light?

Because it's comprised of the band of wavelengths that the human eye can detect, that is, wavelengths that are 'visible' to human beings.


Which wavelength is longer ultraviolet or light?

The wavelengths of visible light are longer than ultraviolet wavelengths.
