Question

Visible spectroscopy is the study of the interaction of radiation from the visible part (lambda = 380-720 nm) of the electromagnetic spectrum with a chemical species. When all wavelengths of visible light are present, the light appears "white" to our eyes. If any wavelength is removed (absorbed), we perceive the remaining combination of wavelengths of light as the "complimentary" color (Table 1). A colored solution gives the maximum absorbance value in the spectrophotometer at the wavelength of 533 nm. What are the absorbed and perceived colors of this solution? Red and Yellow Blue and Orange Green and Purple Red and Blue Green and Yellow

Explanation / Answer

answer : Green and purple

Explanation :

in the above given table absorbed wavelength 530 nm corresponds to

Absorbed color = green

perceived color = purple.

in the question absorbed wavelength 533 nm . that corresponds to

Absorbed color = green

perceived color = purple
