orange
green
violet
red
Shpjegimi
Wavelength Order: In the visible spectrum, the order of colors from shortest to longest wavelength is as follows: violet, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red.
Therefore, violet light has the shortest wavelength, making it the first color in the spectrum when white light is dispersed.
