The following light wave that has the highest energy is
A
Violet
B
Blue
C
Green
D
Red
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Among all the visible rays, violet ray has the highest frequency, Thus violet ray has the highest energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -Your brain interprets the various energies of visible light as different colors, ranging from red to violet. Red has the lowest energy and violet the highest.

Detailed explanation-3: -Violet light has the shortest wavelength, and so it has the highest level of energy of visible light. Radio waves have the longest wavelength and the lowest level of energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Therefore, in the electromagnetic spectrum, gamma rays have the highest energy, and long radio waves the lowest. The sun emits visible light, but also infra-red (IR) and ultra-violet (UV) radiation.

Detailed explanation-5: -Ultraviolet radiation has shorter waves than blue or violet light, and thus oscillates more rapidly and carries more energy per photon than visible light does.
