Chapter 18, Problem 18.4P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Color transmitted when the wavelength of $\text{450 nm}$ is absorbed to a maximum extent has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Colors absorbed and emitted are complementary to each other. For instance when green color is absorbed complimentary color emitted or transmitted will be red. Similarly for violet color complementary color is yellow, for blue color complementary color is orange.

However the spectrum is continuous and hence various wavelengths are often merged.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Color transmitted when the wavelength of $\text{550 nm}$ is absorbed to the maximum extent has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Color transmitted when the wavelength of $\text{650 nm}$ is absorbed to the maximum extent has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).
