The color of visible light with the longest wavelength is red; the color with the shortest
is violet. So "ROY G. BIV" lists the colors from long to short wavelength.
Just to confuse you, we'll also mention that it lists them from lowest to highest frequency.
Going from short wavelength light to long wavelength light, the order goes Red - Orange - Yellow - Green - Blue - Indigo - Violet (ROYGBIV)
No. The speed of light is the same for long wave and short wave light. c=fw where w is the wavelength and f is the frequency. The speed c is a constant. The frequency is different for different wavelengths. High frequency for short waves and low frequency for long waves.
Cone cells, or cones, are one of the two types of photoreceptor cells that are in the retina of the eye which are responsible for color vision as well as eye color sensitivity; they function best in relatively bright light, as opposed to rod cells that work better in dim light.
You get it because of the wave length of the waves go from long to short
Cones in the eye contain 3 types of photopigments that are each sensitive to different wavelengths of light (short, medium, long). When light of a specific wavelength stimulates a cone, the corresponding photopigment is activated, sending a signal to the brain that allows us to distinguish different colors.
Short wavelength
The difference is that with the longer wavelengths, the lower the frequency and the speed of the waves will be. The smaller the wavelength is, the higher the frequency and the speed will be. Wavelength is measured by the distance between two spectrums (the highest point on the wave) do not copy this answer.write it in your own words or you will learn nothing. also, if you copy, that is plagarism. I hope you enjoy this breif definiton. thank you.
Short wavelengths.
Both a wave with long wavelength and a wave with short wavelength can have a lot of energy, or little energy.Specifically in the case of electromagnetic waves, a short wavelength corresponds to high energy - but this is only the energy PER PHOTON. But note that each of such waves usually consists of a lot of photons.
There is a simple answer and a complicated answer. The simple anser is, "Neither", the complicated answer is , "It depends."

Scattering of light
A long list of colors
The wavelength of infrared light is too long for humans to see.
No, blue light actually has short wavelengths compared to other colors in the visible light spectrum. This short wavelength is why blue light is often associated with effects like glare and eye strain.
I looked it up in my physics text book and it says that the wavelength is too long to be seen by the human eye.
Short wavelength waves bend less than long wavelength waves when they pass through a medium because they have higher frequencies and shorter distances between wave crests. This phenomenon is known as refraction.
