Question

A compound absorbs light in the wavelength region 490-500 nm . Its complementary colour is (A) red (B) blue (C) orange (D) blue-green

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

When a compound absorbs a certain wavelength (i.e., 490 nm -500 nm ) from the visible light which corresponds to the blue-green light in the visible spectrum, the colour or light transmitted by it does not contain the colour of absorbed radiation and thus shows the complementary colour, i.e., red.
