The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which complex absorbs the wavelength of red light, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Absorption of Light by Complexes**: - Different metal complexes absorb different wavelengths of light. The color of light absorbed is complementary to the color observed. 2. **Identifying the Complex in Question**: - The question involves complexes that can absorb red light. Red light has a longer wavelength, and its absorption typically results in the transmission of colors that are complementary to red. 3. **Analyzing the Reaction with Ammonium Hydroxide**: - When ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH) is added to a solution containing copper(II) ions (Cu²⁺), a deep blue solution is formed. This indicates that the complex formed absorbs light in the red region of the spectrum. 4. **Writing the Reaction**: - The reaction can be represented as: \[ \text{Cu}^{2+} + 4 \text{NH}_4\text{OH} \rightarrow \text{Cu(NH}_3\text{)}_4^{2+} + 4 \text{OH}^- \] - The resulting complex is \(\text{Cu(NH}_3\text{)}_4^{2+}\), which is deep blue. 5. **Understanding Color Transmission**: - Since the complex absorbs red light, it transmits greenish-blue light, which is the complementary color to red. 6. **Evaluating the Options**: - Based on the information provided, we need to evaluate the options given in the question. The correct complex that absorbs red light and appears blue is \(\text{Cu(NH}_3\text{)}_4^{2+}\). 7. **Final Conclusion**: - The complex that absorbs the wavelength of red light is \(\text{Cu(NH}_3\text{)}_4^{2+}\), making it the correct answer.
