In order to "see" something with eyes, the object must be longer than the light wave refracted from it. Molecules are too small to be refracted.

When are objects visible to us?
we see things when a light source goes into our eyes or when it reflects off an object
How can you see the UV light in laminar air flow otherwise usually you cant see the uv ray?
UV bulbs usually have a coating on the inside that glows when the light is on, providing indication in the visible light part of the spectrum.
Can people see heat?
Not directly. Light is a by product of heat. So anything which produces light is a visible indication of heat. Heat can also produce a shimmering effect as it aggitates air molecules changing the airs density which is visible to human eyes.
Why cant we see the molecules of water moving around?
Individual molecules are too small.
Why we cannot see molecules of water?
It's about wavelength and size. The wavelength you use to look at an object has to be shorter than the object. And visible light has a wavelength that is longer than a molecule.
Why you cant see visible light?
If your vision is normal, then you CAN see visible light.
Why cant you use visible to see molecules?
In order to "see" something with eyes, the object must be longer than the light wave refracted from it. Molecules are too small to be refracted.
Why cant you use visible light to see molecules?
because light used to see an object must have a wavelength
Could a laser light with holograph see molecules and atoms?
No. Atoms and molecules are far smaller than the wavelengths of visible light, so light cannot be used to image them.

What is the light that we can see?
visible light
What is light that we can see?
visible light
Can you see visible light?
Visible means "what you can see" - so yes.
Why is it that you can feel the blow dryers hot air but cant see it?
Air does not absorb or reflect enough light to be visible, regardless of what temperature it is.
Why can radio telescope can see things that a telescope that detect visible light cant?
-- The source may be one that emits electromagnetic energy in the radio portion of the spectrum but little or no visible light. -- There may be material in the way, such as dust or gas, that absorbs visible light but doesn't absorb radio energy.
What are advantages of visible light?
The advantage of visible light is that you can see it. Also, because our eyes are sensitive to light you can see colors. Violet has the shortest wavelength and red has the longest. Visible light is the only EM waves that you can see.
