What is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum visible to the human eye?
We refer to this portion as "visible light," which has wavelengths between 390 nm and 700 nm.
Why is it true to say that all EM radiation is light even though we can see only a small slice of the spectrum as visible light?
Visible light is a very small part of the EM spectrum and it is intellectual laziness to refer to all EM radiation as light.
Does a prism separate light into only the visible spectrum or the entire spectrum?
Well, seeing as it seperates visible light, it follows that it only seperates that visible light into the visible spectrum. You can't make radiowaves or UV rays out of visible light.
What is also known as the visible spectrum?
The visible spectrum is the light we can see with our own eyes. The colours of the rainbow.
