Final answer:

In the visible spectrum, blue light has short wavelengths, which corresponds to higher frequency and higher energy compared to colors like red with longer wavelengths.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the visible spectrum, blue light is associated with short wavelengths. Blue light has a shorter wavelength than red light, which means it also has a higher frequency and higher energy compared to longer wavelengths like red. In the mnemonic ROYGBIV (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet), which helps remember the color order in the visible spectrum, blue is towards the end with shorter wavelengths.
