- 2
Which color has a longer wavelength: red or violet? Explain your answer.
- 3
Put these colors in order from longest wavelength to shortest wavelength: blue, orange, green, red.
- 4
A student says the order from longest to shortest wavelength is violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, red. What mistake did the student make?
- 5
In a diagram, the left side of a spectrum is labeled longest wavelength and the right side is labeled shortest wavelength. Which color should be placed on the far left, and which color should be placed on the far right?
- 6
Which color comes immediately after yellow when listing the visible spectrum from longest wavelength to shortest wavelength?
- 7
Rank these colors from longest wavelength to shortest wavelength: violet, yellow, red.
- 8
