In the visible light spectrum, which color has the shortest wavelength?

Explanation

Violet light has the shortest wavelength in the visible spectrum, while red light has the longest, with the other colors of the rainbow falling in between in the familiar order red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. Shorter wavelengths carry more energy per photon than longer wavelengths of visible light. This is also why the sky appears blue rather than red, since shorter wavelengths scatter more strongly in the atmosphere. Explore more Everyday Science MCQs on mcqstutor to keep practicing.
