Question

Benny Beaver wants to determine what dyesare present in his favorite sports drink. He analyzesa sample witha UV-visiblespectrophotometer and sees absorbance peaks at 415.2nm and 519.6nm. What colordyesare present in his drink

Answer 1

At 415.2nm and 519.6nm, the dyes observed by the instrument are violet and green respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the electromagentic spectrum, visible wavelengths cover a range from approximately 400 to 800 nm. The colours of the spectrum range from red to violet (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and violet: a.k.a ROGBIV), in order of decreasing wavelength.

I hope this explanation would suffice.
