Red and violet light are both visible forms of electromagnetic radiation that can be detected by the human eye. They differ mainly in their wavelengths, with red having longer wavelengths and lower energy, while violet has shorter wavelengths and higher energy. These differences influence their interactions with various materials and their effects on our perception of color.
