Our eyes are able to detect light with a wavelength between about 390nm to 750nm. Different colors are seen when the eyes detect different wavelengths. "Red" is just the name given to the color seen at around 700nm. Food for thought, does everyone see the same color red? (My guess is probably not)!

What is the length of the human eye?

The length of the human eye, specifically its axial length, typically ranges from about 24 to 25 millimeters in adults. This measurement refers to the distance from the front (cornea) to the back (retina) of the eye. Variations can occur due to factors like age, genetics, and overall eye health.

What wavelengths can the human eye see?

Human eye is sensitive to an approximate range of wave length of EM radiation from 380nm to 760nm. This portion of electromagnetic spectrum is identified as "visible light" These wavelengths roughly correspond to the colors violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red.


Which wave can your eye detect?

If you mean, "which wavelengths of light can the human eye detect," the human eye can see wavelengths from about 390 to 700 nanometers.


Why can not you see distant objects?

It is caused due to the limitation of human eye i.e the eye lens cannot adjust its focal length.


What color is invisable too the eye?

The human eye can only perceive the colors from violent to red. All colors that have a wave frequency higher than violent, "ultra-violent", and have a wave frequency lower than red, "infra-red", are invisible to the human eye. Since we cannot see these colors, we do not have names for them other than their frequencies.


What light can be seen by the human eye?

What wave can be detected by the eye?

The human eye detects only electromagnetic waves, and even then, only those electromagnetic waves with wavelengths between 4000 and 7000 angstroms.
