Visible light waves are the only radiation on the EM spectrum which you can see. these colors range from the lowest frequency/highest wavelength (red) to highest frequency/lowest wavelength (violet) we cannot see ultraviolet (aka UV) since it is beyond violet and the frequency is too height for humans to see. We can't see infrared since the wavelength is too high for humans to see. Recievers in our eyes called rods and cones help us pick up the images we see. These images are reflected from the sun!
just did a projct on this, hope it helped!

∙ 12y agoLight rays are invisible. Whenever you can see a beam of sunlight, whether it is coming through your window or down through clouds in the sky, you are seeing the light rays shining on airborne dust, water droplets and other microscopic material that is floating around in the air.

Why do light ray bend toward the normal when it passes air into water?

How do you explain that the pencil appears broken in the glass of water?
A ray of light changes direction when it gets out of the water, and into the air. This is called "refraction".A ray of light changes direction when it gets out of the water, and into the air.

How can you see the UV light in laminar air flow otherwise usually you cant see the uv ray?
UV bulbs usually have a coating on the inside that glows when the light is on, providing indication in the visible light part of the spectrum.
As a ray of light passes from air into glass the angle it makes with the surface normal will?
REFLECTION... (this is the right answer for: A ray of light strikes a flat surface of water. The angle that the reflected light ray makes with the normal is called the angle of? )if not incident ray.
How does the direction of a ray of light change as it passes from air into water?
When a ray of light travels it is in a wave and when it enters from air to water it becomes more dense and harder to move so the waves are refracted.

What is emergent ray in refraction of light?
The emergent ray is the ray of light which passes through a denser medium(glass) to a rarer medium(air).

UV bulbs usually have a coating on the inside that glows when the light is on, providing indication in the visible light part of the spectrum.
What happened to the ray of light when it entered the water?
if the ray of light enters the water from air,refraction takes place and the ray of light will bend towards the normal due to higher optical density.
A ray of light traveling from air to water will bend which direction?
The ray will bend towards the normal.
What is the ray diagram of light refraction in air and glass?
A prism
Why do objects look distorted under water?
A ray of light will change direction when going out of water, into the air. This is called "Refraction".A ray of light will change direction when going out of water, into the air.

This is called "Refraction".A ray of light will change direction when going out of water, into the air. This is called "Refraction".
Why cant you see a ray of light?
People can't see a single ray of light because all answers about rays of light can not be answered. there are just theories. The most popular theory is that light travels too fast for the human eye to see.
As a ray of light passes from air into glass the angle it makes with the surface normal will?

When a ray of light from air enters to glass what happens to velocity?
it decreases
