### Quiz on Visible Light Frequencies and Wavelengths

**Question 1:**
Which of the following colors from the visible range has the greatest frequency?

- o Yellow
- o Red
- o Orange
- o Green
- o Blue

**Question 2:**
Which of the following colors from the visible range has the shortest wavelength?

- o Green
- o Red
- o Orange
- o Blue
- o Yellow

#### Explanation:

**Frequency and Wavelength Relationship:**
In the visible light spectrum, frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional. As frequency increases, wavelength decreases, and vice versa. Here's a general idea of the frequencies and wavelengths of the visible spectrum from lowest frequency/longest wavelength to highest frequency/shortest wavelength:

- **Red**: lowest frequency, longest wavelength
- **Orange**
- **Yellow**
- **Green**
- **Blue**: highest frequency, shortest wavelength

Given the above information:
- Blue light has the greatest frequency and the shortest wavelength among the colors listed.
