Wavelengths of different colour of light

[s0610038]

Hey guys
Today I've done an experiment and I found that when different color of light from the same light source (put of different color filter on the same light source) shine on a beaker of water, the temperature of the water will rise.

And different light will rise the temp of water in different rate. Such as red light will rise the temperature higher than the blue light, but here is the question

May I know that the wavelength of different colur of light?
Thanks

Look up visible light on wikipedia. It should give you approximate ranges for each color.

Well the use infra red for heating stuff don't they.
The longer waves seem to work best.
