Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The general wavelength of visible light ranges from 420 to 700 nanometers, which is the range of wavelengths that can be detected by the human eye. Option A (1-100 nm) is too short for visible light while option B (100-400 nm) is the range of ultraviolet light. Option D (750-1000 nm) is the range of infrared light and option E (> 1000 nm) is the range of microwaves and radio waves.
