In the Visible spectrum of light, red color has the longest wavelength.

Explanation:

Red light has the least frequency among all other colors in the Visible spectrum of light.

Therefore, Red light has longest wavelength and hence traverses very large distances.

Here follows the Visible light spectrum in the order of increasing wavelength :
