Ernest Z. Violet light has the shortest wavelength. Visible light has a wavelength range of about 400 - 700 nm. The visible colours from shortest to longest wavelength are: violet, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red.
Other portions of the spectrum have wavelengths too large or too small and energetic for the biological limitations of our perception. As the full spectrum of visible light travels through a prism, the wavelengths separate into the colors of the rainbow because each color is a different wavelength.Violet has the shortest wavelength, at around 380 nanometers, and red has the longest wavelength, at around 700 nanometers.Isaac Newton's experiment in 1665 showed that a prism bends visible light and that each color refracts at a slightly different angle depending on the wavelength of the color.iolet has the shortest wavelength, at around 380 nanometers, and red has the longest wavelength, at around 700 nanometers.
