No. We have no visible light receptors anywhere but the rear coating
inside out eyes. Is the experience similar where YOU come from ?

Are microwaves visible to humans?

No, microwaves aren't visible to humans. Microwaves are electromagnetic energy, and the only electromagnetic energy humans can see is that of visible light.


Can visable light be dangerous to humans?

YES. Visible light is the leading cause of death of humans on the Earth and is extremely dangerous. THIS IS IMPORTANT. If you see visible light in the wild, DO NOT APPROACH IT. I am the administrator of the Organization for Protection Of Humans from the Dangers of Visible Light (OPOHDOVL). Always remember to watch out for visible light in the daytime. That's when they get you!


Who invented visible light?

Visible light doesn't have to be invented. Light is a naturally occurring phenomenon under some circumstances, and the part that us humans can see we call "visible light".


How is sunlight composed of energy that is visible to humans and energy that is not visible to humans?

Sunlight is composed of a spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, ranging from ultraviolet (not visible) to infrared (not visible) to visible light. The portion of the spectrum that is visible to humans falls within a specific range of wavelengths, which is why we can perceive it as light. Ultraviolet and infrared light have wavelengths outside of the visible range, which is why we cannot see them.


Why can humans only see visible light?

Humans can only see visible light because our eyes are equipped with photoreceptor cells that are sensitive to the wavelengths of light within the visible spectrum. Other wavelengths of light, such as ultraviolet and infrared, are not detected by these cells, so we are unable to see them.


What types of light humans cant see?

Ultraviolet light and infrared light are two types of light that humans cannot see. Ultraviolet light has shorter wavelengths than visible light, while infrared light has longer wavelengths. Both types of light are beyond the visible spectrum for humans but can be detected with specialized equipment.


What humans use visible light waves for?

To see things.


What kind of light do humans emit?

Humans emit infrared light, which is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is not visible to the human eye.


How is infrared radiation different from visible radiation?

Both are examples of electromagnetic radiation. Infrared has a longer wavelength (lower frequency) than visible light. Of course visible light is visible to humans and infrared is not (although long wave Infrared is sensible to humans as heat).


Can humans detect visible light?

Answer is simply yes , human eyes is only sensitive to the visible light at the electromagnetic spectrum , however there is a different in wavelength and the frequency depending on the color of the visible light


What kinds of lights can humans see?

Only in the 'visible light' spectrum.


Can you feel infrared light on your skin?

No, you cannot feel infrared light on your skin as it is not within the visible spectrum of light that can be detected by our skin receptors.
