These waveforms are directly visible:

-- ripples on water

-- crashing surf

-- flag flapping in the wind

-- waving wheat (sure smells sweet)

-- round pulse running along a tight rope or guy-wire

-- vibration of a guitar string

Although not visible as a wave, electromagnetic energy in the frequency range of visible light ... energy that propagates as electromagnetic waves ... is perceived when it enters the eye.

The only types of waves on the electromagnetic spectrum that are visible to the naked eye are near ultraviolet waves. Only the lower frequencies of near ultraviolet waves are visible.

What are the benefits of visible light?

you can usually understand what you are looking at, but they cant see much. if you want a telescope that can see BILLIONS of light years away, i'd invest in an infared telescope.they are heat powered, so you can see how hot your favorite star is. just dont try the sun.


What type of wave can only travel through a medium?

A deshawn wave!
