Overall, the range of visible light is 380-750 nm

For each color:

violet 380-450 nm

blue 450-495 nm

green 495-570 nm

yellow 570-590 nm

orange 590-620 nm

red 620-750 nm

It actually varies a little bit for different peoples' eyes. The range is in the neighborhood

of 380 to 750 nanometers, with the limits depending on the individual.

That's 0.00000038 meter (at the blue end) to 0.00000075 meter (at the red end).

Is red light visible?

That depends on whether it's still in the visible light range that human eyes can detect. If it's beyond red it will be infrared, a light wave with wavelength/frequency that we cannot detect. The frequency range of red light is between 484 THz to 384 THz. The wavelength of visible red light is between 620 nm to 750 nm.
