What is the maximum wavelength of electromagnetic radiation


Rod cells in the retina of the eye detect light using a photopigment called rhodopsin. Suppose that 2.11 eV is the lowest photon energy that can trigger a response in one such photopigment. What is the maximum wavelength of electromagnetic radiation that can cause a transition? nm In what part of the spectrum is this?

  • radio
  • microwave
  • infrared
  • visible
  • ultraviolet
  • x ray
  • gamma ray
