Textbook Question

Chapter 2, Problem 74E

The human eye contains a molecule called 11-cis-retinal that changes shape when struck with light of sufficient energy. The change in shape triggers a series of events that results in an electrical signal being sent to the brain. The minimum energy required to change the conformation of 11 -cis-retinal within the eye is about 164 kJ/mol. Calculate the longest wavelength visible to the human eye.
