Question:

Which colour has maximum vibration speed?

Show Hint

Purple (or violet) light waves have the highest frequency and therefore the fastest vibration speed in the visible spectrum.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation


Step 1: Understanding vibration speed in colour theory
In physics, colours are associated with light waves, which vary in frequency and wavelength.
Vibration speed is related to frequency — higher frequency means faster vibration.

Step 2: Order of colours by frequency (from low to high)
Red < Orange < Yellow < Green < Blue < Indigo < Violet (Purple)
So, Violet or Purple has the highest frequency (and therefore the highest vibration speed).

Step 3: Evaluating options
(A) Blue $\Rightarrow$ High frequency, but not the highest.
(B) Purple $\Rightarrow$ Correct. Violet (Purple) has the maximum frequency.
(C) Green $\Rightarrow$ Medium frequency, lower than blue and purple.
(D) Black $\Rightarrow$ Black is the absence of light, not a vibrating light wave.
\[ \boxed{\text{Correct Answer: (B) Purple}} \]
