Best answer

Red has highest wavelength and violet has lowest wavelength. We know that relationship between energy as follows.

E = hv = h\(\frac cλ\)

h and c are remains constant.

∴ E ∝ \(\frac 1λ\)

Energy is inversely proportional to wavelength. Red coloured light has lower energy and least intensity. So red coloured lamp is preferable as bed light.
