The longest visible wavelength of light appears red.

"Longest wavelength" is equivalent to 'lowest frequency'.

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 color had the lowest frequency?

Violet has the shortest wavelength and highest frequency among visible light colors, whereas red has the longest wavelength and lowest frequency.


What did you observe with the wavelength and frequency of the different colors?

Shorter wavelengths correspond to higher frequencies, so violet light has a shorter wavelength and higher frequency than red light. In the visible spectrum, red light has the longest wavelength and lowest frequency, while violet light has the shortest wavelength and highest frequency.


What color of light has the longest wavelength and the shortest?

The color RED has the longest wavelenth, and the color VIOLET has the shortest wavelenth. ---- Also Wavelenth is inversely propotional to frequency, so we can also say that color VIOLET has longest frequency and color RED has the shortest.

Does the frequencies of the colors of light increase from red to violet?

Yes, the frequency of light increases from red to violet. Red light has the longest wavelength and lowest frequency, while violet light has the shortest wavelength and highest frequency in the visible spectrum.

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).


Which type of visible light has the longest wavelength?

The longest wavelength / lowest frequency visible light is the red end of the spectrum. The shortest wavelength / highest frequency visible light is the violet end of the spectrum.

What color had the lowest frequency?

Violet has the shortest wavelength and highest frequency among visible light colors, whereas red has the longest wavelength and lowest frequency.


Which colour has the shortest wavelength?

Shortest wavelength means the highest frequency, meaning the photons have the highest energy. That is color violet. The violet light colors the skin brown. Red light with lower energy photons cannot do that.

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).


What is the color with the shortest wave length?

Visible light wiith the lowest frequency / longest wavelength produces the last color you can see on the red end of the spectrum. Visible light with the highest frequency / shortest wavelength produces the last color you can see on the violet end of the spectrum.


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

Green has the shortest wavelength of those.
