Yes, it's visible light rays which enable us to see; these rays are in the middle of the electromagnetic spectrum, between ultraviolet (which has a shorter wavelength) and infrared which is a longer wavelength. The visible light rays are divided into the 7 colours of the rainbow, with violet having the shortest wavelength & red the longest.
What else can I help you with?
Can humans see large or small portion of the EMS?
The visible portion of the electro-magnetic spectrum is quite tiny.
What is a basic difference between sunlight and natural light?
Raw sunlight composed of wide range of electro-magentic spectrum this include infrared spectrum (far left) to gammy ray spectrum (far right). Earth's atmosphere and magnetic shield filter most of the harmful far right spectrum and only allows upto Ultra Violet range. This resulting in natural light. So I guess you can say natural light is what ever sunlight that gets passed through the atmosphere and the magnetic shield. However, we gets to see only a small portion of the spectrum of natural light called visible spectrum. There are lot of different behavior within the electro-magnetic spectrum. Some waves bounch off the atmosphere and ground and it is used for radar. Some waves curve around objects and we call it radio.
Why you see only in light not in dark?
What we can see is the reflection of light from other objects. Certain substances act as a filter, they absorb and repel certain frequencies of the Electro-magnetic spectrum to give colour etc. When there is no light source, there is no light for objects to reflect, so we can't see them. Our eyes can see only a very small fraction of the Electromagnetic spectrum.
What enters the eye to help you see?
Electromagnetic radiation (light) limited to the narrow visible spectrum.
Why do graphs help explain why humans cannot see colors that fall in the ultraviolet or infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum?
Because we can't see the colors on the spectrum so we have to use a graphto show the colors.
What spectrum can we see?
We can see the visible spectrum of light, which ranges from violet to red. This spectrum includes all the colors of the rainbow.
Which part of the electro magnetic spectrum allows us to see?
The visible light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum allows us to see. This portion of the spectrum ranges from about 400 to 700 nanometers in wavelength, with colors ranging from violet to red. Our eyes are sensitive to this range of wavelengths, allowing us to perceive light and colors in our environment.
How are light and radiant energy the same?
there both in the electro magnetic spectrum. the visable section is the colours we see and there are 3 other types on each end. the spectrum is : Radio waves Micro waves ( funnily enough they are used in microwaves) Infra-red radiation Visable light ultraviolet x-ray gamma ray
Why is the part of the electromagnetic spectrum you can see called ultraviolet light?
Its not. You can't see ultraviolet. (it lies just above the visible spectrum.)
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.
Is it true or false that you can see most of the light in the spectrum?
False. People can only see the Visible Light spectrum, which is only a small section of the overall light spectrum.
What is the small part of the light spectrum that you can see - called?
Visible light spectrum.
