Answer:

Copy and paste "Electromagnetic waves are categorized according to their frequency f or, equivalently, according to their wavelength λ = c/f. Visible light has a wavelength range from ~400 nm to ~700 nm. Violet light has a wavelength of ~400 nm, and a frequency of ~7.5*1014 Hz. Red light has a wavelength of ~700 nm, and a frequency of ~4.3*1014 Hz." into google, and the correct website pops up as the first result.

Step-by-step explanation:

I tried to link the website that I use to convert wavelengths and frequencies into types of light, but it deleted my answer, so I guess we're doing it this way. As for converting the wavelength to energy, the same principles apply as before:

Frequency: ν Wavelength: λ Energy: E Speed of light: C (3.00e8) Planck's Constant: h (6.626e-34)

ν -> λ λ = C/ν

λ -> ν ν = C/λ

For either of these equations, wavelength must be converted to meters or nanometers, depending on the equation.

For ν -> λ, after doing the equation, convert the wavelength into nanometers by dividing by 1e-9.

For converting λ -> ν, convert the wavelength into meters by multiplying by 1e-9.

For energy: E = hν = hc/λ
