The "Balmer Series" includes the visible spectrum of light from hydrogen ... four

wavelengths, 410 nm, 434 nm, 486 nm, and 656 nm, that correspond to emissions

of photons by electrons in excited states transitioning to the quantum level described

by the principal quantum number n equals 2. (There are also a number of ultraviolet

Balmer lines with wavelengths shorter than 400 nm.)

Of the four visible Balmer lines, the one with the longest wavelength ... 656 nm ...

is the one with the lowest energy per photon. It appears quite red.

Which color of the visible light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum has the lowest frequency and the lowest energy?

Red light.


Which color of the visible light portion the the electromagnetic spectrum has the lowest frequency and the least energy?

The last color you can see at the red end has the lowest frequency,longest wavelength, least energy per photon.The last color you can see at the violet end has the highest frequency,shortest wavelength, most energy per photon.


What part of the electromagnetic spectrum is color?

The so called visible spectrum. (from red [low frequency] to violet [high frequency].


Which color has the lowest frequency on the visible-light spectrum?

red


Which color of visible light has the lowest frequency?

The color red has the lowest frequency of the visible light - violet has the highest


Which colors of visible light have the highest and lowest frequency?

Red light has the lowest frequency and violet, the highest. The colors of visible light, in order from lowest frequency to highest: Red, Orange Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet.


What color has a lower frequency of visible light in the electromagnetic spectrum?

The color spectrum in order of increasing frequency (that also means decreasing band width) is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet. So red is the lowest visible frequency. Below that is called infrared and the color with a frequency greater than violet is called ultraviolet. Neither infrared nor ultraviolet is visible to the human eye although there may be other animals that are able to detect them.


What is the color spectrum made of?

The color spectrum is made from all the wavelengths of visible light, with red at the lowest frequency and violet at the highest frequency that can be seen. Visible light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum that also includes radio and microwaves up to X-rays and gamma rays.


Which color has a higher frequency?

In the visible-light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, frequencies are lowest near red light (approaching infrared waves) and highest near violet light (approaching ultraviolet rays).


What is the frequency of the color yellow?

The frequency of the color yellow is approximately 570 to 590 terahertz (THz) in the electromagnetic spectrum. This range corresponds to wavelengths of about 510 to 580 nanometers. Yellow light is perceived when our eyes detect light within this frequency range, which is part of the visible spectrum.


Which wavelength has the lowest frequency?

The longest one does. If you're talking about visible light, then it's the last color you can see on the red end. If you're talking about the electromagnetic spectrum in general, then there's no such thing as the "lowest" frequency.


What color of the visible light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum has the highest frequency and the most energy?

The color violet in the visible light spectrum has the highest frequency and most energy due to its short wavelength, which corresponds to higher energy photons.
