Answer #1

We know, E=hc/\lambda​​​​​​

Where E=energy

h=Planck's constant

c=velocity of light

  \lambda=wavelength

So energy is inversely proportional to \lambda ​​​​​​

Now red light has highest wavelength so its energy is minimum.

Order of wavelength: Violet<indigo<blue<green<yellow<orange <red(VIBGYOR)

In question given colours are red, yellow, green

Order of wavelength :green<yellow<red

Order of energy:green>yellow>red

Green:highest energy

Yellow:second highest energy

Red:lowest energy
