Answer:

So wavelength range of visible light will be [tex]=650\times 10^{-7}=6.5\times 10^{-5}cm[/tex] to [tex]=850\times 10^{-7}=8.5\times 10^{-5}cm[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given wavelength range of visible light is 650 nm to 850 nm

We have given that [tex]1nm=10^{-7}cm[/tex]

So for converting nm to cm to we have to multiply with [tex]10^{-7}[/tex]

So 650 nm [tex]=650\times 10^{-7}=6.5\times 10^{-5}cm[/tex]

And 850 nm [tex]=850\times 10^{-7}=8.5\times 10^{-5}cm[/tex]

So wavelength range of visible light will be [tex]=650\times 10^{-7}=6.5\times 10^{-5}cm[/tex] to [tex]=850\times 10^{-7}=8.5\times 10^{-5}cm[/tex]
