All frequencies of light in hertz are in between

Red = 4 * 10 ^(14) Hz and

Violet = 8 * 10 ^(14) Hz

Light with a lower frequency than 4 * 10^14 Hz, are called infrared and can't be seen by human eye. Light with a higher frequency than 8 * 10^14 Hz, are called ultraviolet and can't bee seen by human eye.

Therefore, the maximum frequency of visible light in Hz, is 8 * 10^14 Hz
