.
1)  To find the frequency, divide the speed of light by the given wavelength.


2)  With the given wavelength or with the calculated frequency go to this Wikipedia article 


        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visible_spectrum

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visible_spectrum


    to determine the color.
