which color of the visible spectrum has the highest frequency and the shortest wavelength?
The human eye sees a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum which we call visible light. Red has the lowest frequency and longest wavelength. Violet has the highest frequency and shortest wavelength. More: We assign colors to different parts of this spectrum which has a wavelength between 380 nanometers and 760 nanometers and frequency from 400 to 790 terahertz. We assign colors to different parts of this spectrum roughly as follows. Red 400 - 482 terahertz Orange 482 - 503 terahertz
