Answer:
1. The dye that absorbs at 530 nm.
Explanation:
The dye will absorb light to promote the transition of an electron from the HOMO to the LUMO orbital.
The higher the gap, the higher the energy of transition. The energy can be calculated by E = hc/λ, in which h and c are constants and λ is the wavelength.
The equation shows that the higher the energy, the higher the gap and the lower the wavelength.
Therefore, the dye with absorption at 530 nm has the higher HOMO-LUMO gap.
