The violet end of the rainbow is the end with the shortest wavelength (highest frequency). The limits of perception are different for each individual, but industrial photometry considers the lower wavelength limit of human perception to occur at 360 nanometers = 0.000036 centimeter = about 0.000014 inch

Which end of the visible electromagnetic spectrum has longer wavelength Red or Blude?

Deep dark red is the visible light with the longest wavelength. Violet is the visible light with the shortest wavelength.


Is the longest wavelength violet?

No. In the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, the waves at the red end have the longest wavelength (lowest frequency), and those at the violet end have the shortest wavelength (highest frequency).


What is the correct order of the electromagnetic spectrum form shortest wavelength to longest?

The correct order of the electromagnetic spectrum from shortest wavelength to longest is gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared radiation, microwaves, and radio waves.


What is the shortest region of the electromagnetic spectum?

Visible region is the shortest region in the electromagnetic spectrum. Please see the attached picture. It is the shortest defined region. However if you mean wavelength, the further you go on the UV side, the shorter the wavelength. If you are talking about frequence, frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional, so it would be furthest to the IR side. The question is not about the shorter wavelength or less frequency. It is about the region covered in the whole spectrum. So visible with VIBGYOR having wavelength starting from 350 nm to 750 nm will be the visible region where as other regions such as UV and IR would have a larger range.


What is the light spectrum?

The light spectrum is the range of electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye. It consists of different wavelengths of light, each corresponding to a different color. The visible light spectrum ranges from violet (shortest wavelength) to red (longest wavelength).


What color of the visible spectrum had the shortest wavelength?

violet


Which color in the visible spectrum has the shortest wavelength?

The shortest wavelength of visible light for your eye is the wavelength of the lastcolor you can see on the blue end of the rainbow. It may be slightly different forsomeone else's eye.


What color of the spectrum has the second shortest wavelength?

According to (longest wavelength) ROYGBIV (shortest wavelength), it would be "indigo."


Which color in the visible light spectrum has the shortest wavelength?

Violate light has the shortest visible wavelength. Around 400 nanometers.


Which color of invisible light has the shortest wavelength?

Violet light has the shortest wavelength of the visible spectrum.


What color in the rainbow has the shortest wavelength?

Violet has the shortest wavelength in the visible light spectrum.


Which band of the electromagnetic spectrum has a wavelength in between infrared and uv?

The band of the electromagnetic spectrum that has a wavelength between infrared and ultraviolet is the visible light spectrum. This is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye and includes colors such as red, green, and blue.
