Why can you see though water and glass?
You can see through them because light goes through them, and our eyes are built to see certain wavelengths of light.
What you see when reflected wavelengths of light reach your eyes?
it sees the color of an object or shine of light
Are we humans not able to see light from sun clear because of its brightness or the wavelengths?
We have NO TROUBLE at all seeing visible light wavelengths from the sun.We cannot see the radio, microwave, infrared, ultraviolet, or x-ray "light" from the sun because our eyes are not sensitive to these wavelengths.
What causes colour?
Light is made up of radiation of different wavelengths/frequencies; our eyes can perceive some of these differences in wavelengths/frequencies.Light is made up of radiation of different wavelengths/frequencies; our eyes can perceive some of these differences in wavelengths/frequencies.Light is made up of radiation of different wavelengths/frequencies; our eyes can perceive some of these differences in wavelengths/frequencies.Light is made up of radiation of different wavelengths/frequencies; our eyes can perceive some of these differences in wavelengths/frequencies.
What wavelengths of light can humans see?
Most humans eyes are sensitive to wavelengths between about 400 nm (violet) and 700 nm (red)
why are oranges orange?
Orange is orange because it reflects all wavelengths of light except orange light. This causes the cones in your eyes to send signals to your brain that make you "see" orange.
Why oranges are orange?
Orange is orange because it reflects all wavelengths of light except orange light. This causes the cones in your eyes to send signals to your brain that make you "see" orange.
Why does a rainbow show colors from reds to violet?
There's a broad band of wavelengths of light coming from a rainbow. They range from wavelengths that are too short for your eyes to detect, all the way to wavelengths that are too long for your eyes to detect. Within that band of wavelengths is the total band that your eyes can detect, and you see them as a spread out display of all the colors that your eyes and brain can work together to perceive.
Why can't you see infrared light or radiowaves with your naked eyes?
Answer Your brain can't see heat, ultraviolet light, radiowaves, X-Rays, etc. with your naked eyes, because these different kinds of light's wavelengths are either too long or too short for your naked eyes to see. So that is why you can't see infrared
What do humans see different wavelengths of as light?
Different wavelengths of visible light are different colors.
How do humans see colors based on the wavelength of light?
When wavelengths composed of white light are interfered with by matter on their way to our eyes, or when a non-white distribution of light has been emitted.
How the eyes see?
The light bounces off objects and then is delivered to your eye, and then the brain scans it. You can see color because the different wavelengths of light have different color - longer wavelengths are warm colors (red, yellow, orange, and similar colors) and shorter wavelengths are cool colors (blue, green, indigo, brown, etc).
