This electromagnetic wave is in the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Work Step by Step

In part (e), we found that $~~\lambda = 9.42\times 10^{-7}~m$ According to the chart on page 973, this wavelength is a bit longer than the wavelength for red light in the visible spectrum. Therefore, this electromagnetic wave is in the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
