How is the electromagnetic and visible spectrum related?
The visible spectrum is one band within the full range of electromagnetic radiation.
The longest wavelength within the visible spectrum is what color light?
RED
Which light has Frequency within the visible light spectrum?
Wavelengths in the range of 0.4 - 0.7 microns are visible.
What is the relationship between electromagnetic spectrum and sight?
Different wavelengths on the spectrum are seen as different colors within the visible light section of the spectrum.
Is a red light a visible light with the shortest wavelength?
No, red light has the longest wavelength within the visible light spectrum.
Is the Visible light with the shortest wavelength a red light?
No, red light has the longest wavelength within the visible light spectrum.
Radio frequency waves cannot be seen for what reason?
They are not within our visible sensors spectrum
How is seeing related to wavelength?
The human eye can only detect electromagnetic radiation in the visible spectrum, Typically, wavelengths of 390 to 750 nm fall within the visible spectrum. Radiation with these wavelengths are called visible light or simply light.
What does the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum fall?
It falls within the following approximate range of frequencies:
Will red light passing through a prism eresult in a spectrum?
Yes and No, depending on the context of your question. The reason you get a spectrum with a prism is b/c of the principle of diffraction and superposition. The is based on optics and the angle of incidence and rarefraction of the OBJECT, NOT THE VISIBLE LIGHT SOURCE. With visible light, all of the possible wavelength in the visible specrtum are contained within this wave pattern (called superposition). When visible light reflects off objects and sends signals (diffraction grating) to your eyes, your retinas, and later your brain, perceive these particular patterns of light rays and generate images. Because red light is part of the visible spectrum, and because you can alter the properties of the incident object, any color of light in the visible spectrum could appear.
Is the colour of the ultra violet spectrum violet if not why was it given that name?
The ultraviolet spectrum is 'beyond' (ultra) the violet part of the visible spectrum, that is, beyond the short end of the wavelength range. The infrared spectrum is 'within' (infra) the long end of the wavelength range. The two terms have nothing to do with color, which defines the visible spectrum between violet and red.
What is color spectrum and how is it obtained?
The color spectrum is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The color spectrum, often referred to as 'visible light' is only part of it. It is called visible light because it is the only spectrum that we can see with our eyes (we can't see x-rays, radiowaves, etc). The colors within it come in the order of ROYGBIV : Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet.
