Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the electromagnetic spectrum, the wavelength of visible light ranges from approximately 400 to 700 nanometers (nm). Violet has the shortest wavelength, around 400-450 nm, while red has the longest, around 650-700 nm. Therefore, the answer is E, violet. According to the electromagnetic spectrum, the wavelength of the visible light ranges from 400nm to 700nm. Among these colors of visible light, violet has the shortest wavelength which is around 400nm. Therefore, the correct answer is E, violet.
