Human eye can see light rays only. Most probably the vise verse is true. The electromagnetic rays that are seen by the human eye are called as light rays. It is from violet to red colors. Ultraviolet and infrared rays are not seen by human eye.

What wave is detected by the ear?

I'm assuming by "waves" you mean "electromagnetic waves," since there are ocean waves and a few other waves that we can see too. We can also perceive sound waves, but cannot see them. The electromagnetic waves that we can see are called the "visibile lights." Their wavelength range from about 760 nm( 760*10^-9 m), bright red, to about 390 nm, bright violet. Their frequency range from about 4*10^14 Hz to 7.9*10^14 Hz, respectively. Infrared and Ultraviolet are NOT a part of visible light. No he means waves in the sea
