Solution

The correct answer is d. blue: short wavelength.

Here's why:

a. Red: This is incorrect. Red light actually has the longest wavelength of visible light, not medium.

b. Yellow: This is incorrect. Yellow light does not have the longest wavelength; it falls in the middle of the visible light spectrum.

c. Green: This is incorrect. Green light is visible and falls in the middle of the visible light spectrum.

d. Blue: This is correct. Blue light has a short wavelength and is near the end of the visible light spectrum.

e. Purple: This is incorrect. Purple (or violet) light has the shortest wavelength of visible light, not between long and medium.
