the region beyond the red part of the rainbow is the hottest. This experiment was done by Herschel who used a Mercury thermometer to "measure" the temperature of the various colours and thus discovered infra-red rays (IR). The blue colour however has more energy than red as it follows from Planck's Law : E=hv
