Right, so you have seen the drill. Here is a picture of the electromagnetic spectrum (of which visible light) is a part. With the wavelengths of each type of radiation shown. Will you need any help interpreting the diagram, or is it sufficient?

Are you looking at the picture I uploaded?

blues · Answer

So if you are looking at the picture (which you should be) it shows the entire electromagnetic spectrum. The color bar is a magnified insert of the visible light spectrum, which is what the question asks about. The numbers beneath it are the wave lengths. The units on the numbers are nanometers, which is a measure of distance.

$$1 nanometer = 1 nm = 1 * 10^{-6} meters$$

The question asks about what the shortest wavelength is in the visible spectrum. So your answer will be in nanometers.
