Because our eyes have developed to see the visual spectrum, we need special equipment to see infrared or ultraviolet.

Can your eyes see all of the light in the universe?
No. There is only a Small Part of the Electomagnetic (light) spectrum called visible light. Inside the "visible light" section are the colors of the rainbow, which are the only colors we can see through the naked eye. we cannot normally see Infrared light or UV rays.
What is the small part of the light spectrum that you can see - called?
Visible light spectrum.
Can we see most of the light in the spectrum?
No. We can only see visible light, which is only a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Why is it true to say that all EM radiation is light even though we can see only a small slice of the spectrum as visible light?
Visible light is a very small part of the EM spectrum and it is intellectual laziness to refer to all EM radiation as light.
Is it true or false that you can see most of the light in the spectrum?
False. People can only see the Visible Light spectrum, which is only a small section of the overall light spectrum.
What is the only part of a electromagnetic spectrum that you can see with your eyes?
visible light
Why are we able to see the moon?
We are able to see the moon because the sun's light reflects off of it. We are able to see only the part that is reflecting the light.
How are we able to see the moon if it doesn't make its own light?
We can only see the parts of the moon that are directly in sunlight - this is why we see only part of the moon during its phases as it passes in and out of the direct light of the sun.
How are visible light radiowaves and other forms of electromagnetic radiation different from each other?
The only part of the electromagnetic spectrum that we can see is the small yet significant part of visible light. Visible light is not harmful for humans, but some of the other types of waves are.
Why are we able to see only a small part of our galaxy?
Because it's bloody huge!
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.
Why only bees can see ultraviolet light?
only bee's can is because they have extra far eye site so theat they can see far and very small things
