  1. Question 1

    Q1. Which colour of visible light has the highest frequency?

    • A) Red
    • B) Violet
    • C) Green
    • D) Yellow

    Answer: Violet

    Explanation: Violet light has the shortest wavelength (~380–420 nm) in the visible spectrum and therefore the highest frequency among visible colours, since frequency and wavelength are inversely related (c = fλ). Red light is at the opposite end with the longest wavelength and lowest frequency.
