In which are the forms of electromagnetic energy arranged in order from longest to shortest wavelength?

The colors of visible light


What are the colors of light from the longest wavelength to the shortest wavelength?

You could memorize the seven spectrum colors in order with a word called [roygbiv] or Roy G. Biv, as most learn it. The colors of the rainbow are in the order from longest wavelength to shortest, with red having the longest wavelength and violet having the shortest. r= red o=orange y=yellow g=green b=blue i=indigo v=violet A.K.A: ROY G BIV THE COLORS OF THE RAINBOW


What electromagnetic radiation has the shortest wavelength out of radio waves Infared waves X-rays Ultraviolet light and Gamma Rays?

The shortest on this list is gamma rays.The list is stated almost but not quite in the correct order, from longest to shortest wavelength. It should read:RadioInfra-redUltravioletX-raysGamma rays


Which has the longest wavelength 1ultraviolet radiation 2gamma radiation 3 visible radiation 4 infrared radiation?

The sequence of the listing in the question is correct. From longest to shortest wavelength, these four categories of EM radiation do in fact list in the order: 1). infrared 2). visible 3). ultraviolet 4). X-rays


How long does it take for a planet to orbit the sun write the names of the plants in order from shortest to longest orbit time?

well think about it the planets closer to the sun have the fastest orbit so knowing that the planets are already in order from shortest to longest orbit.

What are the colors of visible light in order of increasing wavelength.?

The colours of visible light (to humans) are the colours of the rainbow. Red has the longest wavelength and violet the shortest. There is some argument as to whether indigo should be included but if it isn't, the colours in increasing wavelength are violet, blue, green, yellow, orange and red.


How is color related to frequency and wave land?

As far as visible light is concerned violet has highest frequency and shortest wavelength where as red has lowest frequency and so longest wavelength VIBGYOR is the order of colours in the visible spectrum

Why does yellow appear yellow?

The human eye is sensitive to electro-magnetic waves, within a very narrow band. This is known as 'White light'. This very narrow range has differing wavelengths. Red being the longest wavelength and blue being the shortest wavelength. which we see in a yellow is between this long/short limits of wavelength , hence we see yellow. Sir Isaac Newton( he of gravity fame), in his treatise named 'Optics'. demonstrated the splitting of white light into the colours of the rainbow. Going from longest wavelength to shortest wavelength , the colours are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, & indigo. Which we see in a natural rainbow in that order. The human eye is NOT sensitive to ultra-violet(UV) nor to infra-red, as they are just outside the sensitivity of the human eye.

In order of shortest to longest list the stages of mitosis?

This is in order from longest to shortest, but you get the point.Interphase about (78.92%) - prophase (14%) - metaphase (4%) - telophase (3%) - anaphase (0.08%)


What is the order of the colours obtained in newtons ring experiment if illuminated with white light?

The centre spot will be dark even when we use white source. As the radius of the ring is directly proportional to the square root of the wavelength, the violet being the shortest wavelength will come first and red will be the last as its wavelength is the longest in the visible region. Any how we cannot get sharp coloured rings around the black spot. Instead overlapping occurs and just multicoloured rings can be seen.
