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


Why can't you use visible light to see molecules?

Visible light cannot be used to see molecules because the wavelength of visible light is much larger than the size of molecules. This means that visible light cannot resolve the small details of molecules, making them invisible to the human eye.


Why can't you use visible light to "see" molecules and what alternative methods are used for visualizing them?

Visible light cannot be used to "see" molecules because the wavelength of visible light is much larger than the size of molecules, making them invisible to the human eye. Alternative methods for visualizing molecules include electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and X-ray crystallography. These techniques use different forms of radiation or physical probes to create detailed images of molecular structures at a much smaller scale than visible light can achieve.


Why we cannot see molecules of water?

The individual water molecules are too small to be seen with the naked eye, even with the aid of a microscope. In order to see individual water molecules, you would need an electron microscope which has extremely high magnification capabilities.

Can you see micro waves?

No, unless you are not talking about microwaves in the electromagnetic spectrum. The reason we can not see them is because they are not part of the visible spectrum. Microwaves have lower frequencies.Microwaves do use microwaves. The microwave uses microwaves to excite the water molecules making the food cook faster than a conventional oven.

What property of waves let us see things which don't emit light?

Our eyes can only see visible light. We can use other technologies such as infrared or ultraviolet sensors, but these use electronics to convert them back into visible light that we can see when they are displayed on the monitor. Sometimes we think we can see infrared radiation or ultraviolet light with our own eyes, but in reality those sources are emitting a small amount of visible light since they are so close to the visible light spectrum.
