Visible spectrum contains light of following colours ''Violet - Indigo - Blue - Green - Yellow - Orange - Red'' (VIBGYOR).
Its frequency ranges from violet `(7.5xx10^(14) Hz)` to re `(4xx10^(14) Hz.)` Find out the maximum wavelength `("in" "Å")` in this range.

The correct Answer is:
To find the maximum wavelength in the visible spectrum, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Relationship Between Wavelength and Frequency**: The relationship between wavelength (λ) and frequency (ν) is given by the equation: \[ c = \lambda \cdot \nu \] where \( c \) is the speed of light (approximately \( 3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s} \)). 2. **Identify the Frequency Range**: The frequency range for the visible spectrum is given as: - Violet: \( 7.5 \times 10^{14} \, \text{Hz} \) - Red: \( 4 \times 10^{14} \, \text{Hz} \) To find the maximum wavelength, we need to use the minimum frequency, which corresponds to red light. 3. **Use the Minimum Frequency to Calculate Wavelength**: We will use the frequency of red light (the lowest frequency in the visible spectrum): \[ \nu = 4 \times 10^{14} \, \text{Hz} \] Now, rearranging the formula \( c = \lambda \cdot \nu \) gives us: \[ \lambda = \frac{c}{\nu} \] 4. **Substitute the Values**: Substitute the values into the equation: \[ \lambda = \frac{3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s}}{4 \times 10^{14} \, \text{Hz}} \] 5. **Calculate the Wavelength**: Performing the calculation: \[ \lambda = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{4 \times 10^{14}} = 7.5 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{m} \] 6. **Convert Meters to Angstroms**: Since \( 1 \, \text{Å} = 10^{-10} \, \text{m} \), we convert the wavelength from meters to angstroms: \[ \lambda = 7.5 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{m} \times \frac{10^{10} \, \text{Å}}{1 \, \text{m}} = 7500 \, \text{Å} \] ### Final Answer: The maximum wavelength in the visible spectrum is \( 7500 \, \text{Å} \). ---
