Question

What is the wavelength of the visible spectrum?

• A. 8500 - 9800 angstrom
• B. 7800 - 8000 angstrom
• C. 3900 - 7600 angstrom
• D. 1300 - 3000 angstrom

Hint:

The visible spectrum is a small part of the entire electromagnetic spectrum. It is the range of wavelengths that the human eye can detect, and it corresponds to the colors of the rainbow.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The visible spectrum of light, which is the range of light wavelengths that can be detected by the human eye, spans from approximately 3900 angstroms (violet) to 7600 angstroms (red). These wavelengths are part of the electromagnetic spectrum, and this range is generally recognized as the visible light range. Thus, the correct answer is \( \boxed{3900 - 7600 \text{ angstrom}} \).
