Detailed explanation-1: -Blue light has shorter waves, with wavelengths between about 450 and 495 nanometers. Red light has longer waves, with wavelengths around 620 to 750 nm. Blue light has a higher frequency and carries more energy than red light. The wavelengths of light waves are very, very short, just a few 1/100, 000ths of an inch.

Detailed explanation-2: -On one end of the spectrum is red light, with the longest wavelength. Blue or violet light has the shortest wavelength. White light is a combination of all colors in the color spectrum.

Detailed explanation-3: -The visible colors from shortest to longest wavelength are: violet, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red.

Detailed explanation-4: -Speed is distance/sec, so wavelength is a distance. Same relation holds for all waves with c replaced by the speed of the wave being considered. Red light is longer length and hence lower frequency.

Detailed explanation-5: -red is longer (low frequency) and blue is shorter(higher frequency) . Since the speed of light is constant the wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency. higher frequency maps to shorter wave length.
