How are the colors arranged in the electromagnetic spectrum?

The order of colors in light, arranged from shortest wavelength to longest, is called the visible spectrum of light. Ultraviolet light and x-rays have wavelengths shorter than violet light, and infrared (heat) and radio waves have wavelengths longer than red light.

What is the relationship between wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum and color?

As the full spectrum of visible light travels through a prism, the wavelengths separate into the colors of the rainbow because each color is a different wavelength. Violet has the shortest wavelength, at around 380 nanometers, and red has the longest wavelength, at around 700 nanometers.

How would you compare the wavelength of the colors of the visible spectrum to its frequency?

The longer wavelength, lower frequency regions are located on the far left of the spectrum and the shorter wavelength, higher frequency regions are on the far right.

What is the color of light with a wavelength of 470 nm?

Blue
Physics of color

How are colors arranged in a spectrum in terms of increasing energy?

The more energy a wave has, the higher its frequency, and vice versa. When it comes to visible light, the highest frequency color, which is violet, also has the most energy. The lowest frequency of visible light, which is red, has the least energy.

What is the order of colors in the rainbow shown on the wall?

Officially, the rainbow color order is as follows:

• Red.
• Orange.
• Yellow.
• Green.
• Blue.
• Indigo.
• Violet.

Which color comes between blue and yellow in the visible spectrum of light?
