This is a bit of a circular answer:

Because the "red" color receptors in the human eye respond to the longer wavelengths of visible light more intensely than the "green" or "blue" color receptors do.

How does the wavelength of maximum absorbance relate to the color of a substance?

The wavelength of maximum absorbence relates to the color, because the only color that is not absorbed will be the color of the item. For example, plants are green because they absorb red and blue light, and reflect green light.


What color has the maximum and minimum speed in air?

In air, red has the longest wavelength and therefore the lowest frequency, corresponding to the minimum speed. Violet has the shortest wavelength and highest frequency, corresponding to the maximum speed.


Why is red light having maximum wavelength?

Because red light has minimum frequency and thus it has maximum wavelength.


The color with the largest wavelength is?

Of the seven colors in the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet) the color with the longest wavelength is red.


What is the wavelength range for the color red?

The wavelength for the color red is 700-635 nm, which can also be said as 700 to 635 nanometers.


Which color has the largest wave length?

The color red has the largest wavelength. The color violet, on the other hand, has the shortest wavelength.


Which of the colors of light has the longest wavelength?

The color red has the longest wavelength of any color.


Which color has highest wavelength?

Red has the highest wavelength among the visible colors.


What color has the greatest wavelength?

Red has the longest wavelength in the visible spectrum.


Why is red considered a color and not a feeling?

Because in the visible-to-humans-(who call red, "red")-portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, the particular wavelength whose wavelength matches the wavelength of the color red looks red in color to the humans who call red "red" and not just a feeling. Red isn't even a feeling. What are you talking about?


What color of the rainbow has the longest wavelength?

Which color of light has the highest wavelength?

Red light has the longest wavelength among the visible colors.
