Violet is actually the shortest wavelength, as you consider the color spectrum. After blue comes indigo, then violet. So blue is the third shortest. The color spectrum ranges from red to violet, with red being the longest. Naturally, violet would then be the shortest.

Of course this goes for human visible wavelengths. Ultraviolet light is shorter in wavelength, but not human visible. Xrays have even shorter wavelengths, but they also are not human visible. Gamma rays are the shortest of all, but again not human visible.

What is the color of the shortest wave length?

The color of the shortest wavelength is violet. Violet light has the shortest wavelength within the visible spectrum of light.


Violet light has the shortest wave length?

No violet light does not have the shortest wavelength. Cosmic rays have the shortest wavelenght which is 10-18 m. Due to its shortest wavelength it has the highest frequency and thus it travels the largest distance.


Which color registers the highest frequency shortest wave length?

Of the visible light spectrum, that would be blue light.


How do you find the shortest wave length?

To find the shortest wavelength, you would need to look for the highest frequency electromagnetic wave in the spectrum. You can use the formula: wavelength = speed of light / frequency to calculate the wavelength, with the highest frequency corresponding to the shortest wavelength.


What color light has the shortest wave length and the highest frequency?

The visible light with the highest frequency and shortest wavelength is the last, bluest light that you can see at the blue end of the spectrum (rainbow).


In the visible spectrum the color of light that has the shortest wave length is?

Violet, after that comes ultraviolet that the human eye cannot see.


What is the longest to shortest wave length?

The longest wavelength is radio waves, followed by microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays, which have the shortest wavelength.


True or false visibe light with the shortest wavelength is red light?

No, red is the longest wavelength of visible light, with the lowest frequency and the least energy. Violet light has the shortest wavelenght, with the highest frequency and the most energy (of visible light).


What color of light has the lowest wave length?

The visible light with the shortest wavelength is the last color you can see on the blue/violet end of the rainbow. It's not exactly the same for all eyes.


What form of radiation is the shortest wave length?
