an acronym
The rainbow is the visible light spectrum, split into main areas. These can be remembered with the mnemonic Richard Of York Gained Battle In Vain (ROYGBIV) which stands for Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet. This represents the visible light spectrum from high energy to low energy.
The longest visible wavelengths are thoseat the red end of the spectrum (rainbow).
Use this mnemonic ROY-G-BIV (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet)
The shortest wavelength that your eye can see produces the last color you can see on the blue end of the 'rainbow'.
The answer is red. ummm.. yes, at the long wavelength end, heading for infra-red.
A mnemonic to help you remember the rainbow's colors in sequence: violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, red.
mnemonic is artificial memorization used to help remember things that would otherwise be impossible using natural memory. Using an acronym such as ROY G BIV to remember the order of colors in a rainbow is one example of mnemonic memory.
Remember this mnemonic: "ROY G. BIV" It stands for Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet.
The colours of the spectrum:Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet

The rainbow offers a representation of the visible spectrum of light for human eyes, this is a wavelength of 400nm. The mnemonic device "Roy G. Biv" is easily remembered to dictate the order of the colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Any other visible colors are a derivation of these.

Violet has the shortest wavelength, at 380-450nm.
There are seven colors in the rainbow, and "seven" has five letters. ROY G BIV is the traditional mnemonic for the colors of the rainbow.
wavelength
The shortest wavelength of visible light is the wavelength of the last color you can see on the blue end of the rainbow or spectrum.
