Is human eye sensitive to red light?
yes the human eye is sensitive to red light
What is difference between visible and infrared light?
Visible light is visible (for the human eye), infrared is not. Infrared has a longer wavelength, and a higher frequency. visible light is visible to human i.e the VIBGYOR, above vibgyor are ultravoilet light which is not visible to human eye and below vibgyor are infrared light which is also not visible to human eye.
Why does the wavelength response of the humans eye match so well with the visual window of Earth's atmosphere?
The human eye's sensitivity to wavelengths in the visual window of Earth's atmosphere is due to evolution adaptations during the development of the human eye. If infrared radiation were in abundance, then it is believed our eyes would be sensitive to infrared radiation.
What is good sentence using infrared waves?
Infrared waves are a frequency of the spectrum that is undetectable by the unaided human eye.
Is a infrared a type of light?
Infared is a type of light that is not visible to the human eye.
A human eye has more of what cells?
light sensitive cells
What are 2 forms of light that the human eye cant see?
infrared light and ultraviolet light
Were early homo sapiens able to see the infrared spectrum at night?
No primate can see infrared at any time. There are very few creatures that can see infrared as it cannot be focused with a biological produced lens (due to the water that will be present, which absorbs infrared), so a type of eye based on the pinhole camera must be used by these few creatures.The only creatures that I am aware of that can see infrared are the snakes known as pit vipers. They are called pit vipers because their pair of infrared "eyes" look like tiny pits in their face.
What do rods eye do?
The rods in human eyes are sensitive (photoreceptive) to light and dark, as opposed to the cones which are sensitive to colour.
Why is light so narrow on the spectrum?
That is all that the human eye pigments are sensitive to.
What is the out most color of the rainbow?
Yellow-green is most sensitive to the human eye.
What is significant about an IR laser?
Infrared lasers are dangerous to the human eye, because it is extremely bright. Infrared lights are invisible and keeps the body from using it's "blink reflex".
