What are the colors of light in the visible spectrum in order of increasing frequency?
The (or EM spectrum) represents the entire distribution of electromagnetic radiation according to or . This distribution covers a vast range of frequencies and wavelenghts, and it is divided into subranges (portions of the EM spectrum).
The order of these subranges – either from lowest to highest frequency, or from longest to shortest wavelenght – is: Radio, Microwave, Infrared, Visible, Ultraviolet, X-Ray, and Gamma Ray.
So, for the visible range, the colors are arranged in order of increasing frequency like this: Red < Orange < Yellow < Green < Blue < Indigo < VIolet
Here are a picture of the EM spectrum with emphasis on the visible range :
and a picture that depicts the frequencies associated with each color
