Multiple Choice
Which of the following correctly lists the order of colors in the visible spectrum from shortest to longest wavelength?
A
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Violet
B
Green, Yellow, Orange, Red, Violet, Blue
C
Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red, Violet
D
Violet, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red
Verified step by step guidance1
Recall that the visible spectrum of light ranges from violet to red, with violet having the shortest wavelength and red having the longest wavelength.
Understand that the order of colors from shortest to longest wavelength is: Violet, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red.
Compare each given list of colors to this order to determine which one matches the correct sequence from shortest to longest wavelength.
Identify that the list 'Violet, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red' correctly follows the increasing wavelength order in the visible spectrum.
Conclude that the other options do not follow the correct order of wavelengths and therefore are incorrect.
