Blue light has shorter wavelength than red light.
Remember ROYGBIV? If you reverse the sequence - VIBGYOR, you have all the colors listed from shortest wavelength to longest wavelength in the visible spectrum.
Or, you can just simply consult an electromagnetic (EM) spectrum.

Is the wave length of infrared light too short to be seen or too long?
The wavelength of infra-red light is LONGER than the wavelength of red light, and longer than anything to which the eye responds.
Is it true the wavelength of infra-red light is too short for it to be seen?
no, the wavelength of infrared light is too long for it too be seen. visible light makes up only a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum
Why does red light have longest wavelength?
You have it backwards. The eye perceives long wavelength light as red. It's just how the eye evolved.
Why doesn't the apparent color of an object change underwater when there is a change in wavelength?
The difference between colours determined by the wavelength of the light. Purple is a very short wavelength, red a very long one. So when the water disrupts the light, it changes the wavelength, and thus the colour.
What is the wavelenght of red light?
it is short wavelength
Is the wave length of infrared light too short to be seen or too long?
The wavelength of infra-red light is LONGER than the wavelength of red light, and longer than anything to which the eye responds.
What are the colors of visible light in order?
Going from short wavelength light to long wavelength light, the order goes Red - Orange - Yellow - Green - Blue - Indigo - Violet (ROYGBIV)
Does ROY G. BIV list colors from long wavelength to short wavelength or short to long wavelength?
The color of visible light with the longest wavelength is red; the color with the shortest is violet. So "ROY G. BIV" lists the colors from long to short wavelength. Just to confuse you, we'll also mention that it lists them from lowest to highest frequency.

What the four kinds of light sensitive receptors found in the retina?
Rods, cones that absorb long wavelength light (red),cones that absorb middle wavelength light (green), and cones that absorb short ways length light (blue)
What is the wavelenght of red light?
it is short wavelength
Red light is low energy and has long wavelengths?
Violet light has a short wavelength, high frequency, and high energy. Red light has a much higher wavelength than violet light.
The wavelength of infra-red light is too what for it to be seen?
The wavelength is too long to be seen by our eyes.
Is the wavelength of infra-red light to short to be seen?
Visible light has the spectrum VIBGYOR. Violet is at one extreme having highest frequency and red is at the other end having least frequency. Less frequency means having longest wavelength, since wavelength and frequency are inversely related. As we go beyond violet then it is named as ultraviolet. Same way as we go beyond red, then it known as infra red. So its wavelength has to be greater than that of red. Hence longer wavelength for IR radiations. IR is what we call 'thermal' radiation, in other words, 'heat'.
What is the relationship of color of light and frequency?
Each colour of visible light has a different frequency. Red has the lowest frequency, meaning it has a long wavelength. Purple has the highest frequency and has a very short wavelength. The order is: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. I hope this helps you!
