A higher frequency means a shorter wavelength, and a lower frequency means a longer wavelength.
Wavelength and frequency.(But the product of the [ wavelength x frequency ] of any color is always the same number.)
Wavelength. You could also say frequency, since wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional.
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.
Frequency = speed / wavelength. On the other hand, light of different frequencies looks to our eyes as different colors. Some frequencies - most, in fact - can't be seen at all.

Each color has a wavelength and frequency associated with it. We're familiar with the colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet. These colors range from longer wavelength (lower frequency) red up through shorter wavelength (higher frequency) violet. As one moves up through those colors from red to violet, the color is an indication to relative wavelength.
Frequency = speed / wavelength. On the other hand, light of different frequencies looks to our eyes as different colors. Some frequencies - most, in fact - can't be seen at all.
Colors are ordered by frequency, or equivalently, by wavelength.
Yes. The reason this works is because the index of refraction varies depending on the frequency (or wavelength) of the light.
Wavelength Frequency and Photon Energy
Hard to believe, but back in the old days, we had red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Now, they shorten the list. Who knows what indigo is anyway? Red is the longest wavelength, violet is the shortest. BTW, some people call violet purple, but that's another story.
In the visible region of electromagnetic spectrum VIBGYOR, violet having highest frequency is at one extreme and red having the lowest frequency goes to other extreme. So violet with shortest wavelength and red with the longest.
