"Visible" light is the only kind of electromagneticenergy waves you can see. But it's not
the only kind of energy wave you can see.
You can certainly see ocean waves in the water, seismic waves in the land, standing waves
on a guitar string, and traveling waves running up and down a long guy-wire.
Our eyes do not respond to heat waves, which is why we cannot see them. Light waves, on the other hand, are detected by our eyes and this makes us see.
We can see a tiny portion of electromagnetic waves called photons, or light.
You cannot smell energy, but you can certainly feel energy. For example: If you were a ghost hunter and you feel a "presence" then, that would be feeling energy.
Sound because it has more waves than light.
The two ligh energy waves that you can't see are ultra-violet (UV), and infra-red (IR). Ultra-violet light waves are measured at 380nm and below, infra-red light waves are 750nm and above. Normal light that you can see resides between these two regions.

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.

yes, this is why x-ray waves can see through skin but radio waves can't.
