–Solution
Red is the international colour of stop signs and stop lights on highways and intersections because it is scattered the least by air molecules. The effect of scattering is inversely related to the fourth power of the wavelength of a colour. Red has the highest wavelengthofallthecoloursandisabletotravel the longest distance through fog, rain, and the alike.
