What is the range of frequencies of visible light ?

Assertion: The whistle of an approaching engine appears to be shriller than that of a receding engine. Reason: This is due to Doppler effect, which states that if a source of sound approaches the observer, the frequency of sound increases and if the source recedes the observer, the frequency of sound decreases.
