The light waves reflecting off a red stop sign are longer than the waves reflecting off a violet-colored jacket. This is due to the fact that red light has a longer wavelength (620-750 nm) compared to violet light (380-450 nm). Therefore, red light is perceived as having longer wavelengths than violet light in the visible spectrum.
