Solution 3 - Algorithm
General idea:
- Use CEI color matching functions to convert wavelength to XYZ color.
- Convert XYZ to RGB
- Clip components to [0..1] and multiply by 255 to fit in the unsigned byte range.
Steps 1 and 2 may vary.
There are several color matching functions, available as tables or as analytic approximations (suggested by @Tarc and @Haochen Xie). Tables are best if you need a smooth preсise result.
There is no single RGB color space. Multiple transformation matrices and different kinds of gamma correction may be used.
Below is the C# code I came up with recently. It uses linear interpolation over the "CIE 1964 standard observer" table and sRGB matrix + gamma correction.

Solution 4 - Algorithm
Although this is an old question and already gets a handful good answers, when I tried to implement such conversion functionality in my application I was not satisfied with the algorithms already listed here and did my own research, which gave me some good result. So I'm going to post a new answer.
After some researchs I came across this paper, Simple Analytic Approximations to the CIE XYZ Color Matching Functions, and tried to adopt the introduced multi-lobe piecewise Gaussian fit algorithm in my application. The paper only described the functions to convert a wavelength to the corresponding XYZ values, so I implemented a function to convert XYZ to RGB in the sRGB color space and combined them. The result is fantastic and worth sharing:
/**
* Convert a wavelength in the visible light spectrum to a RGB color value that is suitable to be displayed on a
* monitor
*

* @return RGB color encoded in int. each color is represented with 8 bits and has a layout of

my code is written in Java 8, but it shouldn't be hard to port it to lower versions of Java and other languages.
Solution 5 - Algorithm
You're talking about converting from wave length to an RGB value.
Look here, will probably answer your question. Thy have an utility for doing this with the source code as well as some explanation.
Solution 6 - Algorithm
I guess I might as well follow up my comment with a formal answer. The best option is to use the HSV colour space - though the hue represents the wavelength it is not a one-to-one comparison.
Solution 7 - Algorithm
I did a linear fit of known hue values and frequencies (dropping out red and violet because they extend so far in frequency values that they skew things a bit) and I got a rough conversion equation.
It goes like
frequency (in THz)=474+(3/4)(Hue Angle (in degrees))
I've tried to look around and see if anyone has come up with this equation, but I haven't found anything as of May 2010.
Solution 8 - Algorithm
Method 1
This is bit cleaned up and tested C++11 version of @haochen-xie. I also added a function that converts value 0 to 1 to a wavelength in visible spectrum that is usable with this method. You can just put below in one header file and use it without any dependencies. This version will be maintained here.

The plot of colors from 375nm to 725nm looks like below:
One issue with this method is the fact that it works only between 400-700nm and outside of that it sharply falls down to black. Another issue is narrower blue.
For comparison, below is the colors from Vision FAQ at maxmax.com:
I used this to visualize depth map where each pixel represents depth value in meters and this looks like below:
Method 2
This is implemented as part of bitmap_image single file header-only library by Aeash Partow:
inline rgb_t convert_wave_length_nm_to_rgb(const double wave_length_nm)
{

double red = 0.0;

if ((380.0 <= wave_length_nm) && (wave_length_nm <= 439.0))

{

rgb_t result;
const double gamma = 0.8;
const double intensity_max = 255.0;
#define round(d) std::floor(d + 0.5)
result.red = static_cast<unsigned char>((red == 0.0) ? red : round(intensity_max * std::pow(red * factor, gamma)));

#undef round

}
Plot of wavelength from 375-725nm looks like below:
So this is more usable in 400-725nm. When I visualize same depth map as in method 1, I get below. There is an obvious issue of those black lines which I think indicates minor bug in this code which I haven't looked more deeply. Also violets are bit narrower in this method which causes less contrast for far away objects.
Solution 9 - Algorithm
Project the wavelength's CIExy towards the D65 white onto the sRGB gamut
