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.

Which type of visible light has the longest wavelength?
Red light has the longest wavelength of all the visible light colors.
In which are the forms of electromagnetic energy arranged in order from longest to shortest wavelength?
The colors of visible light
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.
In visible light color is an indication of?
In visible light, color is an indication of the wavelength of light that is being reflected or emitted by an object. Different colors correspond to different wavelengths of light, with red having the longest wavelength and violet having the shortest.
What do different colors of visible light represent?
Different colors of visible light have different wavelengths, with red light having the longest wavelength and violet light having the shortest. Each color of light corresponds to a specific range of wavelengths, with red having the longest wavelengths and violet having the shortest. Our eyes perceive these different wavelengths as different colors.
Which of the following color has the shortest wavelength?
Violet has the shortest wavelength while red has the longest.
Which type of visible light has the longest wavelength?
Red light has the longest wavelength of all the visible light colors.
Which light has the longest wavelength and the shortest frequency?
Red light has the longest wavelength and the shortest frequency among the visible light spectrum.
In which are the forms of electromagnetic energy arranged in order from longest to shortest wavelength?
The colors of visible light
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 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, violet light has a shorter wavelength compared to other colors in the visible light spectrum. Red light has the longest wavelength, followed by orange, yellow, green, blue, and then violet.
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 color light has the longest wavelength-green violet or yellow?
Between Yellow, Green and Violet, the Yellow color has the longest light wave. The order of the 7 rainow colors, sorted by their light waves from the longest to the shortest, is as follows: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet.
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 color out of red yellow and green has the shortest wavelength?
Green has the shortest wavelength of those.
Is a red light a visible light with the shortest wavelength?
No, red light has the longest wavelength within the visible light spectrum.
