Which statement best describes wavelengths of sunlight that are longer than 700 nanometers?

Answer
A
These wavelengths form the infrared part of the spectrum.
B
These wavelengths form the ultraviolet light of the spectrum.
C
These wavelengths are shorter than the wavelengths of visible light.
D
These wavelengths are part of the visible light spectrum.

Explanation

Visible light spans roughly 400 to 700 nanometers. Wavelengths longer than 700 nanometers lie beyond the red end of visible light and are classified as infrared, so the best description is that they form the infrared part of the spectrum.
