A typical human eye will respond to wavelengths from about 390-750nm. In terms of frequency, this corresponds to a band in the vicinity of 400-790 THz.
Bees and many other insects can see light in the ultraviolet, which helps them find nectar in flowers. Plant species that depend on insect pollination may owe reproductive success to their appearance in ultraviolet light, rather than how colorful they appear to humans. Birds too can see into the ultraviolet (300-400 nm), and some have sex-dependent markings on their plumage, which are only visible in the ultraviolet range.
this is from the wikipedia article on visible light in the electromagnetic spectrum
The frequency of light that the sun gives off most is in the visible spectrum. Over the evolution of humans and animals, this is the frequency our eyes have grown accustomed to. It's
One example is the visible spectrum : all the colors that you can see.
Visible light, which lets humans and other animals see, is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. RF (radio frequency) waves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum. RF transmissions carry radio and television broadcasts. They have the lowest frequency. Microwaves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum. X-Rays are part of the electromagnetic spectrum and have the highest frequency..
No, the visible part is called visible light. Ultraviolet is invisible to the human eye.
No. Visible light is actually a very small part of the electromagnetic spectrum which ranges from very short wavelength high frequency electromagnetic waves such as gamma radiation up to very long wavelength, low frequency electromagnetic waves such as radio waves. For more information on the electromagnetic spectrum and the small part of it made up of visible light, see the related link.
It is not at all clear what you mean by locating the electromagnetic spectrum. Electromagnetism exists at innumerable locations throughout the universe. Vision is a sense that uses a part of the electromagnetic spectrum, and lots of animals can see. Some animals, such as bees, can see in ultraviolet frequencies that the human eye does not see.
The frequency of light that the sun gives off most is in the visible spectrum. Over the evolution of humans and animals, this is the frequency our eyes have grown accustomed to. It's
No, its just visible light - light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum and is in the middle of it.

Visible Light.
It is called the visible spectrum, and includes electromagnetic waves with wavelengths from 390 nm to 750 nm.

Here is an example sentence with the word "spectrum":The colours that we are able to see are actually a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Yes.
The part of the electromagnetic spectrum known technically as "visible light" has been found to correspond quite closely to the range that you can see with your eyes.
