Textbook Question
Chapter 19, Problem 9RQ
Humans can see electromagnetic radiation when the wavelength is within the spectrum of visible light. Create a program to determine if a user-specified wavelength [nanometer, nm] is one of the six spectral colors listed in the following chart. Your program should ask the user to enter a wavelength, then indicate in which spectral color the given wavelength falls or state if it is not within the visible spectrum.
| Color | Wavelength Interval |
| Red | 700-635 nm |
| Orange | 635-590 nm |
| Yellow | 59Q-560 nm |
| Green | 56Q-490 nm |
| Blue | 49Q-450 nm |
| Violet | 45Q-400 nm |
