The correct Answer is:
To determine the wavelength of light visible to the human eye, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Electromagnetic Spectrum**: The electromagnetic spectrum includes a range of wavelengths, from radio waves to gamma rays. Visible light is just a small portion of this spectrum. 2. **Identifying the Visible Spectrum**: The visible spectrum is often represented by the acronym VIBGYOR, which stands for: - V: Violet - I: Indigo - B: Blue - G: Green - Y: Yellow - O: Orange - R: Red 3. **Determining the Wavelength Range**: The wavelengths of visible light range approximately from 400 nanometers (nm) to 700 nm. In terms of angstroms (Å), this can be expressed as: - 400 nm = 4000 Å - 700 nm = 7000 Å 4. **Selecting the Correct Option**: Based on the provided options, we need to identify which option falls within the range of 400 nm to 700 nm (or 4000 Å to 7000 Å). 5. **Conclusion**: The correct answer for the wavelength of light visible to the human eye is in the range of 400 nm to 700 nm, or equivalently, 4000 Å to 7000 Å. ### Final Answer: The wavelength of light visible to the eye is of the order of 400 nm to 700 nm (or 4000 Å to 7000 Å). ---
