What is the different segements of the visible spectrum in order from shortest wavelength to longest wavelength?

The visible light with the shortest wavelength (highest frequency) is the last color
you can see on the blue end of the visible spectrum.
The visible light with the longest wavelength (lowest frequency) is the last color
you can see on the red end of the visible spectrum.
In between those limits lie every color perceptible to the human eye ... every
shade of paint that has ever been mixed, and every hue of fabric ever dyed.
The ones that have names and the millions of others that haven't been named.
Some are so close together that average, untrained human eyesight can't tell
them apart, but they're different colors nonetheless because their wavelengths
are slightly different.
The visible spectrum is "continuous", with no 'segments'. Obviously, no complete list
is possible.
"Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet" worked fine in the 4th Grade, but
it doesn't begin to scratch the surface.

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.
Which type of visible light has the longest wavelength?
The longest wavelength / lowest frequency visible light is the red end of the spectrum. The shortest wavelength / highest frequency visible light is the violet end of the spectrum.
What is the shortest wavelength value in visible light in the electromagnetic spectrum?
The violet end of the rainbow is the end with the shortest wavelength (highest frequency). The limits of perception are different for each individual, but industrial photometry considers the lower wavelength limit of human perception to occur at 360 nanometers = 0.000036 centimeter = about 0.000014 inch
3 Which wavelength of light is the shortest?
The blue end of the spectrum has shorter wavelengths than the red end.Whatever color is the last one your eyes can see at the blue end, that's the visible color with the shortest wavelength.
Does red or violet have the shortest wavelength?
Ultraviolet has a shorter wavelength than red, green, or infrared light.
Is ultraviolet the shortest wavelength?
No. If the shortest wavelength is on the left end of the spectrum, the shortest wavelength is microwaves. if the shortest wavelength is on the right end of the spectrum, the shortest wavelength is gamma rays. I think it is microwaves because micro means small.
What color of the spectrum has the second shortest wavelength?
According to (longest wavelength) ROYGBIV (shortest wavelength), it would be "indigo."
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 color of the visible spectrum had the shortest wavelength?
violet
Which color on the electromagnetic spectrum has the shortest wavelength?
yellow
What part of the spectrum has the highest frequency?
The part with the shortest wavelength has.
Does violet have the longest wavelength?
No. In the visible light spectrum it has the shortest
What portion of the electromagnetic spectrum has the shortest wavelength?
Gamma radiation
What is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that has the shortest wavelength?
Gamma Waves
Which color in the visible light spectrum has the shortest wavelength?
Violate light has the shortest visible wavelength. Around 400 nanometers.
What is the smallest wavelength of light?
The shortest wavelength of visible light is the wavelength of the last color you can see on the blue end of the rainbow or spectrum.
What color had the shortest wavelength?
The visible light with the shortest wavelength is the last color you can see at the violet end of the spectrum. It's not exactly the same for all eyes.
