Our eyes only perceive electromagnetic radiation within approximately 700nm to 400nm (the range of visible light) as light. That's the way our eyes are biologically coded.
Stars emit all kinds of radiation including light waves, cosmic rays, gamma rays, and X-rays. When we look at stars, we can only see the light waves. But using cameras that can 'see' the other wavelengths, particularly X-rays, then convert them to light waves that we CAN see, we notice a lot of things that simply do not show up by looking at the stars' light waves.
-- If you are not attached to either of those light waves, then you see each of them moving at the speed of 'c'. -- If you are attached to either one and traveling with it, then you see the other one approaching you at the speed of 'c'.
Two types of light energy waves that we can't see are infrared and ultraviolet waves. Infrared waves have longer wavelengths than visible light, while ultraviolet waves have shorter wavelengths. Our eyes are only sensitive to a specific range of wavelengths, known as the visible spectrum, which is why we cannot perceive these other forms of light. These invisible waves play important roles in various applications, such as heat transmission and sterilization.
As you know that there are three types of light waves i.e infrared light, visible light and ultra violet light. Out of these, only visible light rays (waves) gets reflected by the mirror but the other two light waves passes through the mirror.
It effects other plants because plants need the proper light and plants can move a little bit to see the light.
Visible light is a specific portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that can be detected by the human eye, with wavelengths ranging from approximately 400 to 700 nanometers. Unlike other electromagnetic waves, such as radio waves or X-rays, visible light is what enables us to see colors and shapes.
Visble Light
Sound, light, and frequency are all forms of waves that can be measured in terms of frequency. Sound waves are vibrations in the air that we hear, while light waves are electromagnetic radiation that we see. Frequency is the number of waves that pass a point in a certain amount of time, and it determines the pitch of sound and the color of light. Sound and light waves can interact with each other, such as in the phenomenon of sound waves creating light in a process called sonoluminescence.
Sound because it has more waves than light.
Light waves are what we physically perceive as light, while electromagnetic rays are conceptual constructs used in physics to analyze the behavior of light. The interaction of light with our eyes and surrounding environment allows us to detect and see light waves, but we do not directly see electromagnetic rays because they are not a tangible form of energy that we can visually perceive.
Visible light.
Light is an electromagnetic radiation. Our eyes are sensitive, the E/M radiation at the light wavelength. Hence we see light. The E/M radiation adjacent to light are Infra-red(IR) and Ultra-violet(UV), which we do not see.
