Answer to Problem 34R

The correct option is A) Violet.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The visible light spectrum is the segment of the electromagnetic spectrum which is visible to the human eye. More simply, visible light is called that range of wavelengths. The human eye can typically detect wavelengths between 380 and 700 nanometres.

Violet colors has shortest wavelength among given four option. Its wavelength is about the range of

Conclusion:

Hence, the correct option is A) Violet.
