Best Answer

They are the bluest ones, i.e. the last color you can see at the blue end of the rainbow or visible spectrum.

The wavelenghth is about 390 but the exact end is different for each individual's eyes.

The shortest wavelength that your eye can see produces the

last color you can see on the blue end of the 'rainbow'.

Range varies slightly, but around 410 nanometers, which we would see as a very pale purple.

It's in the neighborhood of 400 nanometers,

and is slightly different for each individual.

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.
