The order of light waves is the same order as the colors of the rainbow. The order is Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet. The colors are ordered based on their wavelength, with red being the longest wavelength, and Violet being the shortest.

When light waves strike a blue object, the object absorbs most of the colors in the light spectrum except for blue. Blue light waves are reflected off the object, giving it its blue color.
The color of light is determined by the wavelength of the light waves. Shorter wavelengths correspond to higher frequency light waves and colors like blue and violet, while longer wavelengths correspond to lower frequency light waves and colors like red and orange.
Changing the frequency of light waves alters their color. Higher frequencies correspond to shorter wavelengths and bluer colors, while lower frequencies correspond to longer wavelengths and redder colors.
When an object reflects all light waves, it appears white to the human eye. This is because white light consists of all the colors in the visible spectrum, so by reflecting all light waves, the object is reflecting all colors and appears white.
A soap bubble shows beautiful colors when illuminated by white light due to interference of light waves. The thin film of soap in the bubble reflects light waves at different angles, causing some waves to interfere constructively and others to interfere destructively. This interference results in the different colors observed on the bubble's surface.

Different frequencies of visible light are perceived as different colors.
White light contains all the colors of a rainbow in the form of waves which have different wavelengths. So when light is passed through a prism, the waves appears to be scattered because some waves have less refraction and some waves have more refraction due to their wavelengths.
Red light waves and blue light waves travel at the same speed in a vacuum, which is the speed of light (about 299,792 km/s). The perception that red light travels faster could be due to differences in how the human eye perceives the colors or how the waves interact with materials.
The electromagnetic waves in order of increasing wavelength are: gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared light, microwaves, and radio waves.
