This is a multi-part question.
You wish to do a quantitative analysis of chromium metal in the chemical form of potassium dichromate, K2Cr2O7, which visually is a very bright and rich orange color.
Part 1: What is the approximate "true" color of its absorption?
Part 2: What is the approximate wavelength of this "true" absorption?
Part 3: What is the approximate frequency of this absorption?
Part 4: What is the approximate energy of this absorption?
Part 5: What effect is this light having on the compound?
