Visible light has the spectrum VIBGYOR. Violet is at one extreme having highest
frequency and red is at the other end having least frequency. Less frequency means
having longest wavelength, since wavelength and frequency are inversely related. As
we go beyond violet then it is named as ultraviolet. Same way as we go beyond red,
then it known as infra red. So its wavelength has to be greater than that of red.
Hence longer wavelength for IR radiations. IR is what we call 'thermal' radiation,
in other words, 'heat'.

How is color related to the wavelength of visible light?
It affects the color of the light. If you change the wavelength of visible light, you change the light's color. For instance. Red is a wavelength of approximately 650 nanometers. Orange, about 590. Yellow, 570. Green- 510, Blue, 475 nanometers. Indigo is 445 and Violet is about 400. You can see more here: http://eosweb.larc.nasa.gov/EDDOCS/Wavelengths_for_Colors.html#red
Does your hand emit long or short wave radiation and how do you know?
Long wave radiation in the form of infrared waves. These can be seen with an infrared camera.
Which best explains the relationship the electromagnetic spectrum and sight?
Visible light and infrared light are the parts of the electromagnetic spectrum that can be seen with the eye.
Which best explains the relationship between the electromagnetic spectrum and sight?
Visible light and infrared light are the parts of the electromagnetic spectrum that can be seen with the eye.
What is a light wave?
Visible light waves are the only electromagnetic waves we can see. We see these waves as the colors of the rainbow. Each color has a different wavelength. Red has the longest wavelength and violet has the shortest wavelength. When all the waves are seen together, they make white light.
Is infrared light too long wavelength or too short wavelength to be seen?
I looked it up in my physics text book and it says that the wavelength is too long to be seen by the human eye.
Is it true the wavelength of infra-red light is too short for it to be seen?
no, the wavelength of infrared light is too long for it too be seen. visible light makes up only a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum
Is the wavelength of infrared light is too long or short to be seen by humans?
I looked it up in my physics text book and it says that the wavelength is too long to be seen by the human eye.
Is wavelength of infrared light too long or to short to be seen by humans?
I looked it up in my physics text book and it says that the wavelength is too long to be seen by the human eye.
Is the wavelength of infrared light too short or long to be seen by humans?
I looked it up in my physics text book and it says that the wavelength is too long to be seen by the human eye.
Is the wave length of infrared light too short to be seen or too long?
The wavelength of infra-red light is LONGER than the wavelength of red light, and longer than anything to which the eye responds.
Is the wavelength of the infrared light too long or short to be seen be humans?
I looked it up in my physics text book and it says that the wavelength is too long to be seen by the human eye.
The wavelength of infra-red light is too what for it to be seen?
The wavelength is too long to be seen by our eyes.
What is a wavelength of light that can be seen called?
It is literally called visible light..
How is color related to the wavelength of visible light?

Which colour can not be seen by a human?
Humans do not see the infrared or ultraviolet forms of light.
Does your hand emit long or short wave radiation and how do you know?
Long wave radiation in the form of infrared waves. These can be seen with an infrared camera.
