The longest wavelengths of light are the lowest frequencies (and the lowest energy and the longest period, too). These are the reds, and moving up the spectrum, we encounter orange, yellow, green, blue and violet. The violet light has the shortest wavelength (highest frequency), and the highest energy. The infrared (IR) is below the red (longer wavelength and lower frequency), and the ultraviolet (UV) is above the violet (shorter wavelength and higher frequency).

What are the six primary colors in order of increasing wavelength?

The six primary colors in order of increasing wavelength are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet.


What are the colors of visible light in order of increasing wavelength.?

The colours of visible light (to humans) are the colours of the rainbow. Red has the longest wavelength and violet the shortest. There is some argument as to whether indigo should be included but if it isn't, the colours in increasing wavelength are violet, blue, green, yellow, orange and red.


What colors are associated with wavelength?

Different colors of light are associated with different wavelengths. For example, red light has a longer wavelength, around 620-750 nanometers, while violet light has a shorter wavelength, around 380-450 nanometers. The colors of the visible spectrum, in order of increasing wavelength, are violet, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red.


What is the rainbow in order of increasing energy?

The colors of the rainbow in order of increasing energy are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. This spectrum represents the different wavelengths of visible light, with red having the longest wavelength and lowest energy, and violet having the shortest wavelength and highest energy.


What is the order of increasing the wavelength of light?

The order of increasing wavelength of light is as follows: gamma rays -> X-rays -> ultraviolet light -> visible light -> infrared light -> microwaves -> radio waves.


Does ROY G. BIV list colors from long wavelength to short wavelength or short to long wavelength?

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.


List electromagnetic waves in order of increasing wavelength?

The electromagnetic waves in order of increasing wavelength are: gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared light, microwaves, and radio waves.


Why is the order of the 7 colors of a rainbow always the same?

The amount by which light is bent depends on its wavelength. The colors are arranged in the order of their wavelengths.


The order of colors observed in the visible light spectrum is determined by the?

Colors are ordered by frequency, or equivalently, by wavelength.


What color groups correctly shows increasing wavelength?

VIBGYOR= Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red, although indigo isn't really used too much anymore. This is the order of increasing wavelength, while the order of increasing frequency (the inverse of wavelength) is the more commonly known order, ROYGBIV.


What is the order of colours from longest to shortest wavelength?

The order of colors from longest to shortest wavelength is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet (ROYGBIV).


What are the colors of light in order?

VIBGYOR- Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red (bottom to top order in spectrum)
