Red light has the longest wavelength that's visible to the eye.

Violet light, just past blue in the rainbow, has the shortest wavelength
that's visible to the eye. It's roughly half the size of a wave of red light.

How does the energy of red compare to the energy of green?

Red light has lower energy compared to green light. This is because red light has a longer wavelength, while green light has a shorter wavelength. The energy of light is inversely proportional to its wavelength, so shorter wavelengths (like green light) have higher energy.


Which color light has a longer wavelength?

The colour of visible light with the longest wavelength is red (approximately 700 nanometres).


What color out of red yellow and green has the shortest wavelength?

Green has the shortest wavelength of those.


Does the color red have a lower frequency than the color green?

No, the color red has a longer wavelength and lower frequency than the color green. In the visible light spectrum, red light has a frequency of approximately 430–480 THz while green light has a frequency of approximately 530–580 THz.


What is the diffrence between the waves that make up bright green light and dim red light?

The bright green light has a higher frequency (shorter wavelength) and a smaller amplitude than the dim red light.


Which has a shorter wavelength green light or red light?

Green light has a shorter wavelength than red light. Wavelength is inversely proportional to the color of light - shorter wavelengths correspond to higher frequency light like green, while longer wavelengths correspond to lower frequency light like red.


Are green wavelengths longer than orange wavelengths?

No, green wavelengths are shorter than orange wavelengths. In the electromagnetic spectrum, longer wavelengths correspond to colors such as red and orange, while shorter wavelengths correspond to colors like blue and green.


What makes the color green different from the color red?

The color green is different from the color red because they have different wavelengths of light. Green light has a longer wavelength than red light, which affects how our eyes perceive the colors.


What are two differences between the red and green electromagnetic wave in a rainbow?

The difference is the wavelength's of the two colors, Red is on the "right" end of the visible light spectrum and thus "bigger" wavelength about 640-700 nanometers while Green is more on the "left" side at around 500 nanometers.


Does yellow light have a greater frequency than green light?

No, green light has a higher frequency than yellow light. In the visible light spectrum, colors with shorter wavelengths, such as green, have higher frequencies than colors with longer wavelengths, such as yellow.


What colour will it be if the wavelength gets longer?

red


What is the difference between red light and green light?

Red light has a longer wavelength and lower frequency compared to green light, which has a shorter wavelength and higher frequency. In terms of traffic signals, red light signals drivers to stop, while green light signals drivers to go.
