No. Radio, microwave, heat, infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays, or gamma rays are not part of the visible spectrum.

Visible light has frequencies between 400 - 800 nm

Why can telescopes only see some parts of the electromagnetic spectrum?

Simply because there is a small magnet inside that is only powerfull enough to see some parts.


What are some animals that can locate the electromagnetic spectrum?

It is not at all clear what you mean by locating the electromagnetic spectrum. Electromagnetism exists at innumerable locations throughout the universe. Vision is a sense that uses a part of the electromagnetic spectrum, and lots of animals can see. Some animals, such as bees, can see in ultraviolet frequencies that the human eye does not see.


The part of the electromagnetic spectrum that you can actually see is called the spectrum?

No, its just visible light - light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum and is in the middle of it.


Most sunlight consists of what parts of the electromagnetic spectrum?

The visible spectrum (the radiation we can see as light). This is most likely why organisms evolved to be able to see visible light over other types of electromagnetic radiation - the sun emits this more than the other frequencies, so it was easier for life to evolve seeing this spectrum.


What is the difference between electromagnetic spectrum and telescope?

A telescope helps you to see objects in the distance better. The electromagnetic spectrum is a collection of all waves. Light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum albeit a very small part. X-rays, gamma rays, infra-red, ultra-violet, etc. are all members.


The light that you can see belongs to the visible spectrum?

Yes. All the light we can see is in the visible part of the Electromagnetic spectrum. That is a wavelength range of between about 400 to 700 nanometers.


Can we see most of the light in the spectrum?

No. We can only see visible light, which is only a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.


What part of the electromagnetic spectrum that you can see is called?

It is called the visible spectrum, and includes electromagnetic waves with wavelengths from 390 nm to 750 nm.
