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.

What is the difference between a long wavelength and a 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.


What wave would have more enery one with a long wavelength or a short wavelength?

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.

The wavelength of infrared light is too long for humans to see.


Do blue light have a long wavelengths?

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.


Is infrared light too long wavelength or too short wavelength to be seen?

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.


Do short wavelength waves bend more or less than long wavelength waves?

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.
