How do humans see different wavelengths of light?
As different colors.As different colors.As different colors.As different colors.
What wavelengths of light can humans see?
Most humans eyes are sensitive to wavelengths between about 400 nm (violet) and 700 nm (red)
What happens when white light is passed through a prism?
The white light gets split into its different wavelengths which we see as different colours. The different wavelengths get refracted at slightly different angles, and we see a rainbow effect.
What is a very narrow range of wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum that humans can see?
Visible light.
What kind of energy enables us to see?
Light, for humans "visible light" which is a form of electromagnetic radiation with a relatively wide range of wavelengths. The absorption or reflection of the various wavelengths of light by objects are what define their color.

Can humans see all the wavelengths or light that arrive on earth from the sun?
no

Visible light.
Are we humans not able to see light from sun clear because of its brightness or the wavelengths?
We have NO TROUBLE at all seeing visible light wavelengths from the sun.We cannot see the radio, microwave, infrared, ultraviolet, or x-ray "light" from the sun because our eyes are not sensitive to these wavelengths.

What processes produce the different colors you see in opaque objects?
absorption and reflection of different wavelengths of light
To what does multicolored rays of light prefer?
Multicolored rays of light are produced when light, which is a form of electromagnetic radiation, is split into its different wavelengths by an object or phenomenon that causes refraction, such as a prism, a raindrop, or a glass of water. The different wavelengths of light are seen as the colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. The longest wavelengths (around 700 nanometers) are red and the shortest wavelengths (380 nanometers) are violet. Different animals may have different preferences for multicolored rays of light, depending on their vision and their environment. For example, many animals that can see into the ultraviolet range cannot see red light or any other reddish wavelengths. Bees’ visible spectrum ends at about 590 nm, just before the orange wavelengths start. Birds can see some red wavelengths, although not as far into the light spectrum as humans. Some animals may prefer colors that help them camouflage, attract mates, or find food. Humans may prefer colors that evoke certain emotions, moods, or associations.
How do humans see colors in wavelengths?
Most humans eyes are sensitive to wavelengths between about 400 nanometers and 700 nanometers
Why are there forms of light?
There are not different "forms" of light. There are, however, various wavelengths of light. A small portion of which we can see as "visible light," and most of which we cannot see directly with the human eye.
