Red is the lowest. From there, frequencies increase, in the order of the colors
of the rainbow, until you reach the highest visible frequency at violet.

What color of light was a highest frequency?
Violet. Recall VIBGYOR. Violet at the high frequency extreme and Red is at the low frequency extreme
Is the frequency of infrared light higher than visible light?
No. X-Rays have a greater frequency than visible light. In order of increasing frequency(or decreasing wavelength). Radio waves, Microwaves, Infra-red radiation, Visible light, Ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, Gamma rays.
Which color has the least amount of energy per photon?
High-energy photons correspond to short-wavelength light while low-energy photons correspond to long-wavelength light. In short, the answer is red. For short-wavelengths (high energy photons) it would appear blue.
Which color in the visible spectrum has the shortest wavelength?
The shortest wavelength of visible light for your eye is the wavelength of the lastcolor you can see on the blue end of the rainbow. It may be slightly different forsomeone else's eye.
What is the amplitude of the visible light spectrum?
It is not meaningful to talk about "amplitude of the visible light spectrum". One might think that more intense light would mean greater amplitude of the light wave, but it just means more photons. "Visible light" is made up of photons. A single photon has a certain quantifiable energy, and that energy is discussed in terms of frequency or wavelength. A photon with low frequency (towards the red end of the visible light spectrum, for instance) is less energetic than a photon with high frequency (towards the blue end and beyond). For all intents and purposes, the amplitude of a photon wave-packet could be said to be of "unit amplitude", the amplitude of light.
Does Infra red or yellow light have a higher frequency?
No, infrared radiation (IR) does not have a higher frequency than visible light. Visible light is above IR on the electromagnetic spectrum. It (visible light) has higher frequency and shorter wavelengths than IR radiation does.
What color of light was a highest frequency?
Violet. Recall VIBGYOR. Violet at the high frequency extreme and Red is at the low frequency extreme
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum is color?
The so called visible spectrum. (from red [low frequency] to violet [high frequency].
Is the frequency of infrared light higher than visible light?
No. X-Rays have a greater frequency than visible light. In order of increasing frequency(or decreasing wavelength). Radio waves, Microwaves, Infra-red radiation, Visible light, Ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, Gamma rays.
Do ultraviolet waves have a high or low frequency?
That depends what you call "high" or "low". The frequency of ultraviolet waves is higher than that of visible light; lower than that of x-rays.
Which color has the least amount of energy per photon?
High-energy photons correspond to short-wavelength light while low-energy photons correspond to long-wavelength light. In short, the answer is red. For short-wavelengths (high energy photons) it would appear blue.
Do light waves travel in straight paths called rays?
google it lazy bum. No, light waves are just that-- waves. The color of the wave is determined by it's frequency- normal light is white because it is low frequency. The frequency is how fast the light "waves". But a laser pointer has red light, which has a higher frequency, and therefore is only one color. Hope this helps!
What kind of sound is made by low frequency vibrations?
Low frequency sound is usually called "infrasound" analagous to the term "infrared" for light of less than visible wavelengths. Subsonic has also been used.
What are low energy waves found in electromagnetic spectrum called?
as in microwave radio and tv maybe include infared and visible light they all have a reasonably low frequency and energy. (the lower the frequency the less energy)
What are 3 forms of Electromagnetic Radiation with a wavelength less than visible light?
The wavelength of electromagnetic radiation is a measure of the frequency; multiply the frequency times the wavelength, and the answer is ALWAYS the "Speed of Light", which we abbreviate as "c". All of these are different "bands" of electromagnetic energy. Radio is the longest wavelength and lowest frequency. "Low Frequency" is the lowest, followed by "high frequency", "very high frequency" or VHF, "ultra-high frequency" or UHF. Beyond that are microwaves, and then heat, then "infrared", and then visible light. Higher frequency (and shorter wavelengths) than light are "ultra-violet", then X-rays, and then "gamma rays".
What are ultraviolet and visible light called?
Ultraviolet light, visible light, X-rays, microwaves, radio waves, infrared waves, and gamma rays are all on the spectrum of light, are all electromagnetic waves (EM waves). Any EM wave can be considered light. EM waves are composed of photons, which has properties of both a particle and a wave. The difference between different waves on the EM wave/light spectrum is their frequency. For example, radio waves have a very low frequency, microwaves have a slightly higher frequency, then infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, gamma rays, etc.
Which color in the visible spectrum has the shortest wavelength?
The shortest wavelength of visible light for your eye is the wavelength of the lastcolor you can see on the blue end of the rainbow. It may be slightly different forsomeone else's eye.
