Humans can see a specific range of electromagnetic waves known as visible light, which includes wavelengths from about 400 to 700 nanometers. These waves correspond to the colors of the rainbow, from violet to red. Any waves with wavelengths longer or shorter than this range are not visible to the human eye.
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.
No you cannot. An example of those waves would be those released by the sun and you cannot see those.
Humans cannot see ultraviolet, infrared, or radio waves as they fall outside the visible spectrum of light. Ultraviolet waves have wavelengths shorter than violet light, while infrared waves have wavelengths longer than red light. Radio waves have even longer wavelengths.
Visible light is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that enables humans to see. It consists of wavelengths that range from about 400 nanometers (violet) to 700 nanometers (red). These wavelengths are detected by our eyes' photoreceptor cells, allowing us to perceive colors and shapes.
We can't see all types of waves in the electromagnetic spectrum because our eyes are only sensitive to a small range of wavelengths known as visible light. Other types of waves in the electromagnetic spectrum, such as radio waves, microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays, are not detectable by the human eye. These different types of waves have different frequencies and energies which our eyes are not equipped to perceive.
The visible spectrum.
The visible light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum would be used to study waves that humans can see. This portion of the spectrum includes colors ranging from red to violet and is the only part of the spectrum visible to the human eye.

It is called the visible spectrum, and includes electromagnetic waves with wavelengths from 390 nm to 750 nm.

The oft quoted human vision spectrum is wavelengths from 390 to 750 nm
Humans cannot see ultraviolet, infrared, or radio waves as they fall outside the visible spectrum of light. Ultraviolet waves have wavelengths shorter than violet light, while infrared waves have wavelengths longer than red light. Radio waves have even longer wavelengths.
We're allowed to see anything we want to. Unfortunately, we only have equipment todetect the visible light band with our eyes, and the heat band with our nerve-endings.If there are waves of any other band in the room, we don't even know it.
because they are present at the invisible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum

Humans are able to see visible light, which is a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Visible light ranges in wavelength from approximately 400 to 700 nanometers and is perceived by our eyes as different colors.
