Practices - Section 5

Practice 5-1: Determining color in the visible spectrum


Overview
Write an interactive Java program, ColorRange.java, which when given a wavelength in nanometers will
return the corresponding color in the visible spectrum.
Color Wavelength (nm)

Violet 380-450

Blue 450-495

Green 495-570

Yellow 570-590
Task
You must implement the following using a suitable if Orange 590-620
decision statement.
1. Prompt the user to enter the wavelength, the Red 620-750
wavelength should be of type double.
2. For each range (e.g. 380-450) the number on the left is included in the range, but the number on the right is
not included in the range.
3. If the input value is not found on the visible spectrum then state that the wavelength is not within the visible
spectrum.
4. Expected Output:
a. Enter a color code
630
The color is Red
b. Enter a color code
25.0
The entered wavelength is not a part of the visible spectrum
c. Enter a color code
750.5
The entered wavelength is not a part of the visible spectrum

Problem 5-2: Determining the next color for a stop light
Overview
The normal behavior for a stop light is to cycle from Red to Green to Yellow to Red (and continues with this
pattern). Write a java program StopLight.java, which will determine the next color of a stop light in this
pattern, Red to Green to Yellow to Red based on the current stop light provided by the user.

Task
You must implement the following using a suitable if decision statement.
1. Have the user enter the value for the currentColor.
2. Compute the next color stop light based on the currentColor.
3. Alert the user for any invalid value of color.

Expected Output:
a. Enter a color code
1
Next Traffic Light is green
b. Enter a color code
3
Next Traffic Light is red
c. Enter a color code
0
Invalid color
d. Enter a color code
4
Invalid color
