What Are The Wavelength Of Each Color Of The Rainbow. You can remember them with the acronym Roy G Biv. Red orange yellow green blue indigo and violet.
Updated April 02 2020. Violet has the shortest wavelength at around 380 nanometers and red has the longest wavelength at around 700 nanometers. The more photons are emitted the higher their wavelength.
It is the light with the longest wavelength.
From longest to shortest wavelength they are. To red light which has a long wavelength the refractive index of water is almost 132. The shorter wavelength blue and violet light refract a slightly greater amount than the longer wavelength red light. Sunlight which is our primary source of visible light and which is often referred to as white light is actually the presence of all colors.
