Shortest wavelength means the highest frequency, meaning the photons have the highest energy. That is color violet. The violet light colors the skin brown. Red light with lower energy photons cannot do that.

True or false visibe light with the shortest wavelength is red light?
No, red is the longest wavelength of visible light, with the lowest frequency and the least energy. Violet light has the shortest wavelenght, with the highest frequency and the most energy (of visible light).
How are colors produced and why?
Colours are produced when electromagnetic radiation is emitted. The precise colour will depend on the wavelength of the radiation.
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.
Why emulsions are white in colour?
Because of the differences in droplets sizes in which each size scatters specific wavelength of light which leads to scattering of all visible spetrume or what we see as a white color
What is the wavelength of chloride?
wavelength of chloride is 450 nm
What colour is the shortest wavelength of light?
Violet.
Which colour has the shortest wavelength in a prism?
violet
Why does the violet colour appear at the bottom of all colours of the rainbow?
Shortest wavelength.
What is the most readily scattered color of light?
The most readiy scattered colour of light is violet as this colour has shortest wavelength.....
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 visible light that has the shortest wavelengths color?
Violet has the shortest wavelength
What color of the spectrum has the second shortest wavelength?
According to (longest wavelength) ROYGBIV (shortest wavelength), it would be "indigo."
What color out of red yellow and green has the shortest wavelength?
Green has the shortest wavelength of those.
Which color have the shortest wavelength?
The color with the shortest wavelength is purple, sometimes called violet.
What color in the rainbow has the shortest wavelength?
Violet has the shortest wavelength, at 380-450nm.
Which of the following color has the shortest wavelength?
Violet has the shortest wavelength while red has the longest.
Which frequencies would have shortest wavelength 10mhz 100mhz 1ghz 100ghz?
The 100GHz frequency has the shortest wavelength.
