Human eye is sensitive to an approximate range of wave length of EM radiation from 380nm to 760nm. This portion of electromagnetic spectrum is identified as "visible light" These wavelengths roughly correspond to the colors violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red.

Which wave can your eye detect?
If you mean, "which wavelengths of light can the human eye detect," the human eye can see wavelengths from about 390 to 700 nanometers.
What is the range of wavelengths that a typical human eye can see?

What wavelengths can humans see?
Visible Light is the name of the wavelength range that the human eyes can see. The range is about 400 -700 nanometres (nm) and a colour range of violet through to red. The human eye is not capable of "seeing" radiation with wavelengths outside the Visible Spectrum. However there is some stuff going around that children can see ultraviolet. I don't know if it true, but still.
Does infrared light look red to the human eye?
No, it does not. Infrared (which means literally, "below red") is the part of the spectrum of even longer wavelengths that cannot be seen by the unaided human eye. Infrared radiation has wavelengths between about 750 nm and 1 mm, spanning three orders of magnitude. Humans at normal body temperature radiate chiefly at wavelengths around 10 micrometres.
Why can you see color when you cannot see a light wave?
Light waves are an electromagnetic radiation ranging in and wavelength. Only the wavelengths in between about 4,000 (violet) to about 7,700 (red) angstroms can be perceived by the human eye and is called visible light. The wave itself is too fast and too small to be viewed in an isolated manner. However, all light perceived by the Human eye is a light wave.
Which wave can your eye detect?
If you mean, "which wavelengths of light can the human eye detect," the human eye can see wavelengths from about 390 to 700 nanometers.
What type of opaque object keeps light focused and scatters wavelengths of visible light for the human eye to see?
It will be right to say that only principles of light microscopy keeps light focused and scatters wavelengths of visible light for the human eye to see.

What wavelenghts are invisible to the human eye?
All wavelengths outside the range of 380 - 750nm are invisible to the human eye.
Why do you call the visible light part of the EMS visible light?
Because it's comprised of the band of wavelengths that the human eye can detect, that is, wavelengths that are 'visible' to human beings.
Why are there forms of light?
There are not different "forms" of light. There are, however, various wavelengths of light. A small portion of which we can see as "visible light," and most of which we cannot see directly with the human eye.
What wavelengths of electromagnetic waves are visible to the human eye?
Between about 400 and 700 nanometres.

Why does an apple look red to the human eye?
The color red, whether in an apple or anywhere else, corresponds to a certain range of wavelengths of light, which are the longer wavelengths of the visible spectrum. Blue is composed of the shorter wavelengths.
Why can you see the color orange?
The human eye has three kinds of color receptors, which perceive red, yellow, and blue wavelengths of light. If you perceive red and yellow simultaneously, that is interpreted as orange.
What section of the electromagnetic spectrum would you use to study waves that humans can see?
The wavelength of the electromagnetic visible to the naked human eye is light. Light has wavelengths of 460 to 760 nanometers.
Why is it impossible for us humans to see microwave radio waves an x-ray wavelengths?
Because the cells in the retina of the eye do not contain pigments that absorb these wavelengths.
