Visible Light is the name of the wavelength range that the human eyes can see. The range is about 400 -700 nanometres (nm) and a colour range of violet through to red. The human eye is not capable of "seeing" radiation with wavelengths outside the Visible Spectrum. However there is some stuff going around that children can see ultraviolet. I don't know if it true, but still.

What do humans see different wavelengths of as light?
Different wavelengths of visible light are different colors.
What wavelengths of light can humans see?
Most humans eyes are sensitive to wavelengths between about 400 nm (violet) and 700 nm (red)
What is a very narrow range of wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum that humans can see?
Visible light.
How do humans see different wavelengths of light?
As different colors.As different colors.As different colors.As different colors.
Do you see the wavelengths that are reflected or absorbed by matter?
We see wavelengths that are reflected off of matter.
How do humans see colors in wavelengths?
Most humans eyes are sensitive to wavelengths between about 400 nanometers and 700 nanometers
What do humans see different wavelengths of as light?

Can humans see all the wavelengths or light that arrive on earth from the sun?
no
What is a very narrow range of wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum that humans can see?
Visible light.
What range of wavelenghts can humans see?
Humans can see EM-radiation at the visible range. It is between the wavelengths of 400 nanometer(violet) - 700 nanometer(red).
Why is it impossible for us humans to see microwave radio waves an x-ray wavelengths?
Because the cells in the retina of the eye do not contain pigments that absorb these wavelengths.
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.
Are crickets colorblind?
This is dependent on which viewpoint one looks at this from. From a human viewpoint, crickets are indeed colorblind in that they cannot see certain colors that humans can see. However they can also see violet and ultraviolet wavelengths which humans cannot see. Crickets can see color, but not the color humans can see.

Why can wavelengths of light be seen by humans?
Our eyes can detect them.
