Which of the following colors of light has the lowest frequency? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which of the following colors of light has the lowest frequency?
A. Violet
B. Blue
C. Red
D. Green
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
In the visible spectrum (VIBGYOR), wavelength increases from Violet to Red. Since speed = frequency × wavelength (c = fλ), frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength. Red light has the longest wavelength and therefore the lowest frequency and lowest energy. Violet has the shortest wavelength and highest frequency.
