The entire range of em waves is called the?
The total of all electromagnetic waves is called the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light waves, ultraviolet radiation, x-rays, and gamma rays. Only visible light waves, which humans see as the band of colors from red to violet, are the portion of the spectrum visible to the human eye, although many other life forms are sensitive to infrared and possibly to other segments the spectrum.
What is a very narrow range of wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum that humans can see?
Visible light.
Why can only human see part of 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
is light the only electromagnetic wave?
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.
The range of electromagnetic waves placed in a certain order is called the?
Well there is the Electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. Visible light is the light that we can see and they are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. On the EM spectrum there is radio/ TV, microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet (UV), xrays,and gamma rays.
Do the Electromagnetic waves that humans can see make up the electronagnetic spectrum or do they make up the visible spectrum?
The visible spectrum.

What part of the electromagnetic spectrum that you can see is called?
It is called the visible spectrum, and includes electromagnetic waves with wavelengths from 390 nm to 750 nm.
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.
What waves on a electromagnetic spectrum do you see?
The oft quoted human vision spectrum is wavelengths from 390 to 750 nm
What waves are humans allowed to see in electromagnetic spectrum?
Humans are allowed to see a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum known as visible light. This spectrum ranges from around 400 to 700 nanometers in wavelength and includes colors like red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Other waves in the electromagnetic spectrum such as infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays are not visible to the human eye.
Why can humans not see radiation?
because they are present at the invisible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum
What is a very narrow range of wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum that humans can see?

What does roy g biv look like?
like the colors of the rainbow. violet has the least wavelength or the greatest frequency possible that humans can see and marks one end of the visible spectrum in the electromagnetic spectrum. red has the highest wavelength or least frequency possible that humans can see and marks the other end of the visible spectrum of the electromagnetic spectrum.
What electromagnetic waves have a wavelength shorter that a single water molecule?
Your comparison attempt is confusing. Water molecules don't have 'waves' by themselves. The ocean has waves, H2O does not. We use the behavior of ocean and sound waves to determine the behavior and makeup of light waves. Humans can only see a portion of the existing electromagnetic spectrum. X-rays and Gamma rays have the shortest wavelengths. Radio waves have the longest.
