We detect electromagnetic radiation in a narrow band of frequencies that we call "visible light" with our eyes. We can feel a broader spectrum of electromagnetic radiation that we call "heat". (There are some overlaps.)

We can build tools that detect ANY frequency of electromagnetic radiation, and display that in any format we select.

Can animals or humans see infrared radiation?

Humans can't see that. Some animals have a different range of radiations they can see. One interesting case is certain snakes, which have a special organ to sense heat radiation (i.e., infrared radiation). This helps them find their prey.


What is the importance of ozone to humans?

Ozone acts as blanket to earth. It protects from the harmful UV radiations.


What the threat of ozone?

Ozone is not a threat to humans at atmosphere. It is something which protects us from UV radiations.


What are the consequences of ozone layer deplition?

The ozone layer depletion causes the harmful UV radiations to enter the earth's surface. These radiations can cause various fatal diseases to humans and animals.


Why is the ozone layer essintial for life?

Ozone is essential for life as it protects us from the harmful ultraviolet radiations of the sun. These radiations are high frequency waves which can cause a number of issues in humans and animals.


Why the sea is blue?

From the spectrum of the visible light water absorb red, orange, yellow and green radiations. And the result is that we see the blue and violet radiations. Red, orange, yellow and green radiations have longer wavelengths than blue, indigo and violet radiations. The depth of water and variation of composition play also a role.


Are you able to see an object when it emits infrared radiation?

No, humans cannot see infrared radiation with the naked eye as it is outside of the visible spectrum. However, special cameras and sensors can detect infrared radiation and convert it into images that are visible to us.


What is the ozone purpose?

The ozone purpose is to protect us. It protects us from harmful UV radiations of the sun. these are high energy radiations.

How is sunlight composed of energy that is visible to humans and energy that is not visible to humans?

Sunlight is composed of a spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, ranging from ultraviolet (not visible) to infrared (not visible) to visible light. The portion of the spectrum that is visible to humans falls within a specific range of wavelengths, which is why we can perceive it as light. Ultraviolet and infrared light have wavelengths outside of the visible range, which is why we cannot see them.
