Visible light waves are the electromagnetic waves which are detected by the human eye. They make up only a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
So, visible light is any light in which the human eye can detect.

Which portion of the electromagnetic spectum can be viewed with the bare human eye?
The visible light spectrum (wavelengths from 380 to 700 nanometers)
How much of the electromagnetic spectrum can your eye detect as light?
visible light
What are the detectors of visible light waves?
The eye and photosensitive paper both detect visible light.
Why did human eyes evolve to detect visible light?
Because the people whose eyes could not detect visible light didn't surviveto have children. They were completely outclassed, outhunted, and outfoughtby the people whose eyes could detect it.
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.
Can humans detect visible light?
Answer is simply yes , human eyes is only sensitive to the visible light at the electromagnetic spectrum , however there is a different in wavelength and the frequency depending on the color of the visible light
What portion of the engergy spectrum is visible light?
Visible light is in the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum between infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) light.
Why can radio telescope can see things that a telescope that detect visible light cant?
-- The source may be one that emits electromagnetic energy in the radio portion of the spectrum but little or no visible light. -- There may be material in the way, such as dust or gas, that absorbs visible light but doesn't absorb radio energy.

How much of the electromagnetic spectrum can your eye detect as light?
visible light
Why cant humans detect infrared light?
They can. While human eyes can not "see" infrared light, humans can detect this light as "heat" on the surface of the skin.

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.
What two parts of the electromagnetic spectrum can a rattlesnake detect?
They can detect both visible light and infrared radiation.
