not really since visible light is only a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum. For u 2 see an object it must give off or reflect wavelengths of visible light.

any questions about this feel free to ask:]

No only a very small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum is composed of visible light, roughly the range of 400 terahertz to 800 tera hertz is visible light. The spectrum is many thousands of terahertz larger than the .4 terahertz containing visible light.

Well, there are different types of light waves, meaning they have different wavelengths, either allowing us to see them or not. All colors have different wavelengths from one another. Brown most especially being as how it's not really a TRUE color. It's just made up of all other colors (meaning all colors and gray because gray is what you get when you mix all colors) and their wavelengths. Hope this isn't too confusing.

Yes, I can, and although you and I have never met, and I'm not aware of

your state of visual acuity or impairment, my hope is that you can too.

When light of sufficient intensity, and with any wavelength between roughly

400 and 750 nanometers, enters a normal, healthy human eye, it will stimulate

the retina and produce an awareness on the part of the owner of the eye.

No. On a logarithmic frequency scale representing all electromagnetic radiation

between reasonable limits for discussion, visible light comprises less than 2%

of the spectrum . . . roughly one octave, out of 54 or more.

-- From the longest radio wave that we use to the shortest gamma ray

that we've observed, the range of frequencies is a little over 50 octaves.

-- Barely one octave of frequencies is visible to the human eye.

Visible light occupies on a VERY SMALL fraction of the electromagnetic spectrum, that is, a very small minority.
