Around $400 - 700 nm$ $"400 - 700 nm"$ wavelength, or a frequency of $7.50 \times 10^{14} - 4.28 \times 10^{14} s^{- 1}$ $7.50 xx 10^(14) - 4.28 xx 10^(14) "s"^(-1)$ , or a wavenumber of $25000 - {14286 cm}^{- 1}$ $25000 - "14286 cm"^(-1)$ :

Here, $red$ $color(red)("red")$ has the longest wavelength and $violet$ $color(purple)("violet")$ has the shortest wavelength.
