The longest wavelength humans can see is Red and the shortest wavelength is Violet
Explanation:
Humans are actually considered blind, not literally but because that the visible spectrum is so small for us to see. We don't have the ability to see UV light, X - Ray, Gamma Rays, etc.
First, see that the longer the wavelength, the less energy it has and vice-versa.
So, The longest wavelength humans can see is Red and the shortest wavelength is Violet.
Hope it helps!
