Visible light consists of the band of wavelengths to which the structure of the human
eye is sensitive. Radiation outside of that band may enter the eye, but there's nothing
in there that responds to it, so the brain remains unaware of it.
What else can I help you with?
Is light and electromagnetic waves are alike?
Light is the visible form of electromagnetic waves.
1 What types of waves are light and electromagnetic waves?
The type of waves that are electromagnetic are the visible light waves
What is the difference between light waves and electromagnetic waves?
Light is ONE SMALL RANGE of the electromagnetic spectrum. In other words, electromagnetic waves within a relatively small range of frequencies - the frequencies that we are adapted to seeing with our eyes - is called "visible light", or simply "light".
How is visible light and electromagnetic radiation different?
Visible light is a specific portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that humans can see with their eyes. Electromagnetic radiation, on the other hand, refers to all forms of energy that travel as waves at the speed of light, including visible light as well as other forms like radio waves, microwaves, and X-rays.
Are visible light waves mechanical waves?
No. They're electromagnetic waves.
What are the common name of electromagnetic waves?
The common name for electromagnetic waves is just that: "electromagnetic waves". There is no other commonly used term. Specific parts of the spectrum have common names, for example light (or visible light), radio waves, x-rays, etc. - but none of this means exactly the same as "electromagnetic waves". Visible light, for instance, is just one type (or frequency range) of electromagnetic waves.
What is visible light form of?
Electromagnetic waves.
In what form does radiant energy travel?
Radiant energy travels in the form of electromagnetic waves. These waves include visible light, ultraviolet light, infrared radiation, and other forms of electromagnetic radiation.
Visible light is one example of which energy?
Visible light is a type of electromagnetic waves.
What is the type of electromagnetic radiation we can see called?
Visible light waves.
What type of wave transports visible light?
Visible Light is an electromagnetic wave. Electromagnetic waves often are called different things depending on the wavelength of the wave. Examples are Radio waves, Microwaves, Infrared, Visible light, Ultraviolet, X-rays, Gamma Rays.
Is Radio waves are shorter than waves of visible light?
Yes, radio waves have a longer wavelength than visible light. They are part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
