In spectrophotometry, suppose you use red fruit punch as your solution. Which wavelengths of light would you expect to be strongly absorbed? Which wavelengths are not strongly absorbed? Explain comprehensively.

Step 1
The color of an object or solution is determined by the wavelengths of light it absorbs and those it reflects or transmits. Show more…

Red light with wavelength $700 \mathrm{nm}$ is passed through a twoslit apparatus. At the same time, monochromatic visible light with another wavelength passes through the same apparatus. As a result, most of the pattern that appears on the screen is a mixture of two colors; however, the center of the third bright fringe $(m=3)$ of the red light appears pure red, with none of the other color. What are the possible wavelengths of the second type of visible light? Do you need to know the slit spacing to answer this question? Why or why not?
what wavelength(s) of light get(s) absorbs when a pigment reflects red light?

Determine the color and approximate wavelength absorbed most strongly by each solution. $$ \begin{array}{l}{\text { a. blue solution }} \\ {\text { b. red solution }} \\ {\text { c. yellow solution }}\end{array} $$
