Verified step by step guidance1
Recall that visible light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum and is characterized by different wavelengths corresponding to different colors.
Understand that the wavelength of visible light ranges approximately from 400 nm to 700 nm, with violet having the shortest wavelength and red having the longest wavelength.
List the colors of visible light in order of increasing wavelength: Violet, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red.
Compare the given sequences to this order to identify which one correctly arranges the colors from shortest to longest wavelength.
Confirm that the sequence starting with Violet and ending with Red matches the correct order of increasing wavelength.
