Detailed explanation-1: -violet, in physics, light in the wavelength range of 380–450 nanometres in the visible spectrum. The shortest wavelength of violet is the shortest of all wavelengths of light discernible to the human eye.

Detailed explanation-2: -Violet has the shortest wavelength, at around 380 nanometers, and red has the longest wavelength, at around 700 nanometers.

Detailed explanation-3: -Another way to think about it, violet contains slightly higher energy than blue, which means higher frequency and lower wavelength. So, if you add the lowest energy color we can see (red) to the highest we can see (blue) you get slightly more than blue (violet!).

Detailed explanation-4: -Gamma Rays-have the smallest wavelengths and the most energy of any other wave in the electromagnetic spectrum. These waves are generated by radioactive atoms and in nuclear explosions.

Detailed explanation-5: -This part of the spectrum includes a range of different colours which are represented by specific wavelengths. These colours are violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red (VIBGYOR). The wavelength increases from violet to red. So, red light has the longest and violet has the shortest wavelength.
