Answer:

Violet > indigo > blue > green > yellow > orange > red .

Step-by-step explanation:

The colors in the VIBGYOR , which can be seen in the visible light are as follows -

Violet , indigo , blue , green , yellow , orange and red .

Since in order of wavelength is as follows -

red > orange > yellow > green > blue > indigo > violet .

The value of frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength .

Hence ,

The order of the colors in the decreasing order of the frequency is as follows -

Violet > indigo > blue > green > yellow > orange > red .
