The portion of the electromagnetic spectrum visible to the human eye is known as?
The (not surprising) name is "visible light."
What electromagnetic wave IS perceivable by humans?
The "visible light" spectrum, known as "visible light", is perceived by receptors at the back of our eyes, and a portion of the infrared spectrum, known as "heat" is detected by nerve endings in our skin.
Does a prism separate light into only the visible spectrum or the entire spectrum?
Well, seeing as it seperates visible light, it follows that it only seperates that visible light into the visible spectrum. You can't make radiowaves or UV rays out of visible light.
The visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum represent a large portion of the spectrum?
The visible portion of electromagnetic spectrum is called the visible light and is the electromagnetic wave with the wavelength between 380 - 740 nm.
What are the wavelength limits for visible spectrum?
The range of visible spectrum is 400nm(Violet) to 700nm(Red).. (1nm = 10-9m)
What is the only light visible in the electromagnetic spectrum?
the range of the spectrum that's known as "visible light"
What are the colors of the rainbow known as?
The visible spectrum

Does electromagnetic spectrum only include visible light?
No, it includes alpha, beta, gamma, x-rays and ultraviolet rays also. In other words it includes the visible as well as non-visible light spectrum.
What does a prism do to light rays?
It splits the light into the various visible wavelengths that are known as the spectrum of light.
Do the Electromagnetic waves that humans can see make up the electronagnetic spectrum or do they make up the visible spectrum?
The visible spectrum.
Which of these statements about the EM spectrum is false?
Most of the EM spectrum is visible light.
Who discovered the visible spectrum?
Nobody knows who created the visible spectrum but newton was the first to actually prove that light was made up of all the colours in the visible spectrum
What are the colours in the visible spectrum of light?
The colors in the visible spectrum of light are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
What is between visible light and the electromagnetic spectrum?
Visible light is a small section in the electromagnetic spectrum.
What does the spectrum in the electromagnetic spectrum do?
I suppose you mean the visible spectrum, only a small part of the entire electromagnetic spectrum. The visible spectrum is basically all of the colors the human eye can detect.
