The wavelength of yellow light is approximately 580 nanometers (nm).
This value falls within the range generally considered to be yellow in the visible spectrum. The visible spectrum, the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that the human eye can detect, ranges from about 380 nm (violet) to about 750 nm (red). Different wavelengths within this range are perceived as different colors.
Here's a brief overview of the visible spectrum and corresponding wavelengths:
| Colour | Wavelength (nm) |
|---|---|
| Red | 650 |
| Orange | 600 |
| Yellow | 580 |
| Green | 550 |
It's important to note that the precise wavelength that is perceived as "yellow" can vary slightly between individuals and depending on the context (e.g., the specific light source).
