What are the colors of light from the longest wavelength to the shortest wavelength?

You could memorize the seven spectrum colors in order with a word called [roygbiv] or Roy G. Biv, as most learn it. The colors of the rainbow are in the order from longest wavelength to shortest, with red having the longest wavelength and violet having the shortest.
r= red
o=orange
y=yellow
g=green
b=blue
i=indigo
v=violet

∙ 8y agoFrom longest to shortest wavelength (in nanometers):
* Red (620 - 750)
* Orange (590 - 620) * Yellow (570 - 590)
* Green (495 - 570)
* Blue (450 - 495)
* Violet (380-450)
red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet

∙ 14y agoThe colours of visible light (to humans) are the colours of the rainbow. Red has the longest wavelength and violet the shortest. There is some argument as to whether indigo should be included but if it isn't, the colours in increasing wavelength are violet, blue, green, yellow, orange and red.

∙ 12y ago-- The last color you can see at the red end of the rainbow is the visible light with the
lowest frequency / longest wavength.
-- The last color you can see on the violet end of the rainbow is the visible light with the
highest frequency / shortest wavelength.
All the rest of the infinite number of colors, including orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo,
mauve, peach, fuchsia, tan, beige, cream, cyan, magenta, robin's egg, sky, mustard,
peacock, olive, and azure, are in between those limits. The exact limits may be slightly
different for the individual eyes of different people.

∙ 10y agoIt's not possible to list them all, since there are an infinite number of them.
-- The color with the longest visible wavelength is the last one you see
at the red end of the rainbow.
-- The color with the shortest visible wavelength is the last one you see
at the violet end of the rainbow.
-- The list you learned as a first-grader ... red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet ...
is a list in order of decreasing wavelength. There are an infinite number of others,
most without names, spread between those.

In which are the forms of electromagnetic energy arranged in order from longest to shortest wavelength?
The colors 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.
Which color has the longest wavelength?
Of the colors in the visible spectrum, red has the lowest frequency and the longest wavelength. As you move on "up" the spectrum, wavelengths get shorter.Red has the longest spectrum of all visible light. But infrared is even longer and there are many more "colors" but you can't see them.
Which color in the visible spectrum has the shortest wavelength?
The shortest wavelength of visible light for your eye is the wavelength of the lastcolor you can see on the blue end of the rainbow. It may be slightly different forsomeone else's eye.
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.
In which are the forms of electromagnetic energy arranged in order from longest to shortest wavelength?
The colors of visible light
Which light has the longest wavelength and the shortest frequency?
The longest visible wavelength of light appears red. "Longest wavelength" is equivalent to 'lowest frequency'.
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).
How does a rainbow get colors?
Light breaks up based on the wavelength. That is also why the sky is blue. Red has the longest, and violet the shortest.
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.
Does violet have the longest wavelength?
No. In the visible light spectrum it has the shortest
Is a red light a visible light with the shortest wavelength?
No, red light has the longest wavelength within the visible light spectrum.
Is the Visible light with the shortest wavelength a red light?
No, red light has the longest wavelength within the visible light spectrum.
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.
Which of the colors of light has the longest wavelength?
The color red has the longest wavelength of any color.
Longest wavelength in the spectrum of color?
The color red has the longest wavelength of all the colors in the light spectrum.
Does violet have the shortest wavelengths?
Yes, out of all the colors of visible light, violet has the shortest wavelength.
