What waves are 0.4-0.7 micrometers in length?
Visible light waves are of this range. 400 nm to 700 nm. Colours range from violet to red.
What is the difference between light waves and electromagnetic waves?
Light is ONE SMALL RANGE of the electromagnetic spectrum. In other words, electromagnetic waves within a relatively small range of frequencies - the frequencies that we are adapted to seeing with our eyes - is called "visible light", or simply "light".
How light detects light waves?
These are the main electromagnetic waves we can see. We see these waves as the rainbow's shades. Every shading has an alternate wavelength. Red has the longest wavelength and violet has the briefest wavelength. At the point when every one of the waves are seen together, they make white light. At the point when white light radiates through a crystal, the white light is broken separated into the shades of the noticeable light range. Water vapor in the air can likewise break separated wavelengths making a rainbow.
What wave is detected by the ear?
I'm assuming by "waves" you mean "electromagnetic waves," since there are ocean waves and a few other waves that we can see too. We can also perceive sound waves, but cannot see them. The electromagnetic waves that we can see are called the "visibile lights." Their wavelength range from about 760 nm( 760*10^-9 m), bright red, to about 390 nm, bright violet. Their frequency range from about 4*10^14 Hz to 7.9*10^14 Hz, respectively. Infrared and Ultraviolet are NOT a part of visible light. No he means waves in the sea
What are the range invisible light?
AnswerALL THE COLORS YOU CAN SEE: Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo VioletThe electromagnetic spectrum is all the waves, from radio waves to cosmic rays, with visible light waves only occupying an infinitesimally small section of the complete spectrum.AnswerIt is the range at which the human eye will respond to light, seeing it as different colors. It ranges from wavelengths of about 750 nm. (nanometers, deep red) to 380 nm. (deep violet). This corresponds to a frequency range of 400-790 THz (terahertz).
Why can you see light waves but not other electromagnectic waves?
Our eyes only perceive electromagnetic radiation within approximately 700nm to 400nm (the range of visible light) as light. That's the way our eyes are biologically coded.
What waves are 0.4-0.7 micrometers in length?
Visible light waves are of this range. 400 nm to 700 nm. Colours range from violet to red.
A range of light waves with different wavelengths?
water
A wide range of energy waves that radiate from the sun?
Electromagnetic radiation.

White light is a combination of electromagnetic waves with frequencies from what?
the range of visible light.
What is the definition of visible light waves?
EM rays which are in the range of visible light.
Can you see the light itself or only when it has interacted with matter before?
Light is a certain spectrum (frequency range) of electromagnetic waves, while some of the electromagnetic waves cannot be seen in the naked eyes, those in the spectrum of light can be seen. electromagnetic waves need no matter to travel in or through (unlike sound waves). you cannot see anything but light. the source of light however is usually matter so you get to see light from sources of light which looks like the sources or reflectors (matter). you cannot see light when its not moving towards you unless it reflects with matter and then moves towards you..
What are the waves from the sun called?
The energy radiated from the sun is in the form of electromagnetic radiation or electromagnetic waves. The waves are noticed on Earth as visible light, as ultra-violet (light that is at a higher frequency than we can see) and infra-red (light that is at a lower frequency than we can see). Although the radiation is far more than just the range of visible light, we normally refer to the radiation as "sunlight"

How does light travel and at what speed?
Light is a form of energy made of electromagnetic waves , travelling in a straight line. Some of the waves you can see and some you cannot. The entire range of light is called the electromagnetic spectrum. The light you see is referred to as "visible light." Light waves transport energy from its source to its surroundings. Usually, light travels very quickly.Light travels at a speed of 299,792,458 meters per second but this can be also written as 300,000,000 meters per second.
How is light you see with your eyes different from the other forms of electromagnetic waves such as x-rays and radio waves?
Visible light falls on the range of the electromangetic spectrum which is the appropriate wavelength to be detected by the eye. The difference between visible light and invisible light is simply its energy (wavelength or frequency)
