O Levels Physics (5054)•5054/11/M/J/19

Explanation
Visible Spectrum Frequency Order Steps:
- Recall that frequency increases as wavelength decreases in the electromagnetic spectrum.
- Standard visible color order from lowest to highest frequency: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet.
- Compare options to this sequence, noting ROYGBV mnemonic.
- Identify the option matching increasing frequency exactly.
Why B is correct:
- It lists colors from red (lowest frequency) to violet (highest), aligning with the electromagnetic spectrum where frequency f = c/λ, increasing as wavelength λ shortens from red to violet.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Begins with high-frequency colors (blue, violet) before low-frequency red, reversing the order.
- C: Inserts violet too early after orange, disrupting the progressive increase.
- D: Places violet before blue, but violet has higher frequency than blue.
Final answer: B
