What kind of electromagnetic radiation can honeybees see but humans cannot?
Ultraviolet light can be seen by bees, but not humans. Bees also cannot distinguish red from black.
Does white light contain ultraviolet and infrared light?
Not necessarily. It could, but as humans cannot perceive these colors, and white is based off of our perception of a color containing red, blue, and green, ultraviolet and infrared are not necessary to create "white".
What fly is not attracted to ultraviolet light?
Which flies is not highly attracted to Ultraviolet light
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum do animals see?
A typical human eye will respond to wavelengths from about 390-750nm. In terms of frequency, this corresponds to a band in the vicinity of 400-790 THz. Bees and many other insects can see light in the ultraviolet, which helps them find nectar in flowers. Plant species that depend on insect pollination may owe reproductive success to their appearance in ultraviolet light, rather than how colorful they appear to humans. Birds too can see into the ultraviolet (300-400 nm), and some have sex-dependent markings on their plumage, which are only visible in the ultraviolet range. this is from the wikipedia article on visible light in the electromagnetic spectrum
How do you see ultraviolet light?
Humans do not see ultraviolet light, but there are some who can who have had to have replacements in their eyes, which altered their vision so that they can.
Can Humans can perceive ultraviolet light with their eyes?
No. By definition, "ultraviolet" is that which is beyond the visible light - more specifically, beyond the violet part of visible light.
Can humans see all light?
NO, HUMANS CAN SEE LIGHT BETWEEN THE WAVELENTHS OF VIOLET AND RED. HUMANS CANNOT SEE ULTRAVIOLET OR INFRARED LIGHT.
Which colour can not be seen by a human?
Humans do not see the infrared or ultraviolet forms of light.
Is ultraviolet light invisible?
Humans do not have the ability to see ultraviolet light. We are only able to see from red to violet, not ultravioltet (above violet) or infrared (below red).
Can humans see visible light?
Ultraviolet light is invisible to the human eye. UV light is found in sunlight and is emitted by electric arcs and specialized lights such as black lights. It can cause chemical reactions, and causes many substances to glow or fluoresce. Most ultraviolet is classified as non-ionizing radiation.
What wave is necessary for humans to produce vitamin D?
ultraviolet waves
Which light can humans see?
Humans can see light all the way from red to violet, but not morethan red (infrared) nor more than violet (ultraviolet).
What kind of electromagnetic radiation can honeybees see but humans cannot?
Ultraviolet light can be seen by bees, but not humans. Bees also cannot distinguish red from black.
Can scorpions see in ultraviolet light?
No. They can not see in ultraviolet light. They are known to glow when exposed to ultraviolet light, though.
Are African grey parrots colour blind?
Many birds and animals are infact colorblind. However many parrots including the African Grey are able to see more color than humans. They are capable of seeing ultraviolet light.
What does an ultraviolet telescope collect?
