2. A particle compound shows a green flame.

   a. Using the table below, indicate the range of wavelengths corresponding to the color green.

   b. Calculate the frequency range corresponding to this wavelength range.

#### Table of Wavelength Ranges by Color

| Color  | Wavelength (nm) |
|--------|------------------|
| Violet | 400 - 420 nm     |
| Indigo | 420 - 440 nm     |
| Blue   | 440 - 490 nm     |
| Green  | 490 - 570 nm     |
| Yellow | 570 - 585 nm     |
| Orange | 585 - 620 nm     |
| Red    | 620 - 780 nm     |

#### Explanation

- **Green Flame:** The green flame corresponds to the wavelength range of 490 - 570 nm as indicated by the table.
- **Frequency Calculation:** To calculate the frequency range for the wavelength range of green, use the formula for wave frequency \( f = \frac{c}{\lambda} \), where \( f \) is the frequency, \( c \) is the speed of light (approximately \( 3 \times 10^8 \) meters per second), and \( \lambda \) is the wavelength in meters. Convert the wavelength range from nanometers to meters before calculation.
