Answer:

Please see below as the answer is self-explanatory.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The visible range extends roughly from 400 nm (violet) to 700 nm (red).
  • Below the violet is the ultra-violet spectrum (with higher energy) and above red, we have the infra-red spectrum.
  • The wavelengths in the range of 650 to 690 nm have red as the dominant color.
