Chapter 7, Problem 74

(choose chapter or problem)

The human eye contains a molecule called 11- cis -retinal that changes shape when struck with light of sufficient energy. The change in shape triggers a series of events that results in an electrical signal being sent to the brain. The minimum energy required to change the conformation of 11- cis -retinal within the eye is about 164 kJ>mol. Calculate the longest wavelength visible to the human eye.
