SSC CHSL 2023 PYQ — Question 41

SSC CHSL - 14 Aug 2023 - Shift 1 • General Awareness • Q41

Which colour of light from VIBGYOR has minimum energy?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Red.

  • In the VIBGYOR spectrum, red light has the minimum energy.
  • This is because the energy of light is inversely proportional to its wavelength.
  • Red light has the longest wavelength among the colors in the spectrum, which means it carries the least energy.
  • In the electromagnetic spectrum, energy increases as the wavelength decreases.
  • Therefore, violet light, having the shortest wavelength, has the highest energy, while red light, with its longer wavelength, has the lowest energy.
  • Understanding the relationship between wavelength and energy is crucial in various fields like optics and physics.
