That depends which way you are moving along the electromagnetic spectrum.

If you are moving from low to high frequency, then the last category before visible light is infrared radiation.

If you are moving from short to long wavelength, then the last category before visible light is ultraviolet radiation.

Is the color spectrum simply a small segment of the electromagnetic spectrum?

Yes, visible light (the color spectrum) is a tiny range of the full range of electromagnetic waves. In the related Wikipedia link, there is a picture that shows the colors 'crammed in' to a small range of the spectrum.


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

Violet, with a wavelenght between 380 and 450 nm, which is near the end of the visible light, next to the ultraviolet region. Be careful because talk about "colors" is quite dangerous. Firstly, different cultures has different names for the same color. In addition to this, due to the fact that the electromagnetic spectra is continuous (i.e., there are infinite's wavelenghts) it is impossible to say exactly which wavelenght is the limit of the visible region and, consequently, which is the color associate to this wavelenght. Usually (but it is a convention) it is said that visible region is between 380 and 750 nm.


Is visible light a shorter or longer wavelength energy in this spectrum?

Shorter or longer than what ? The wavelength of visible light is shorter than that of radio and heat, and longer than the wavelength of X-ray and gamma radiation. And the wavelength of green light is shorter than red light but longer than blue light.


The visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum represent a large portion of the spectrum?

Yes, the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum consists of wavelengths between approximately 400 to 700 nanometers. This range is a small portion of the entire electromagnetic spectrum, which includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.


What property determines a visible light region of the electromagnetic spectrum?

The property that determines a visible light region of the electromagnetic spectrum is wavelength. Visible light has wavelengths ranging from about 400 to 700 nanometers, with shorter wavelengths corresponding to violet light and longer wavelengths corresponding to red light.

How are frequency and wavelenght related to specific region of the spectrum?

In the electromagnetic spectrum, shorter wavelengths correspond to higher frequencies, and longer wavelengths correspond to lower frequencies. For example, in the visible light spectrum, blue light has a higher frequency and shorter wavelength compared to red light. This relationship holds true across all regions of the spectrum.


What is between visible light and the electromagnetic spectrum?

Visible light is a small section in the electromagnetic spectrum.


Which colour in the visible pectrum has the longest wavelenght?

Red color in the visible spectrum has longest wavelength.


What is The relationship between visible light and the electromagnetic spectrum?

Visible light is a small section in the electromagnetic spectrum.


In the electromagnetic spectrum is determined by its wavelength?

No, the position of a wave in the electromagnetic spectrum is determined by its wavelength and frequency. The electromagnetic spectrum ranges from radio waves with longer wavelengths to gamma rays with shorter wavelengths.


Is visible light electromagnetic?

Yes. visible light is in the electromagnetic spectrum.


is the the visible spectrum occupies most of the electromagnetic and sonar spectrum?

The visible spectrum is a tiny, almost negligible slice of the electromagnetic spectrum. 'Sonar' has no place in this discussion. It's not even electromagnetic.


Where is x-rays located on the Electromagnetic spectrum?

X-rays are located between ultraviolet rays and gamma rays on the electromagnetic spectrum. They have higher energy and shorter wavelengths than visible light.


How is the electromagnetic and visible spectrum related?

The visible spectrum is one band within the full range of electromagnetic radiation.
