Why do graphs help explain why humans cannot see colors that fall in the ultraviolet or infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum?

Because we can't see the colors on the spectrum so we have to use a graphto show the colors.

What type of electromagnetic wave does lasik produce explain?
It produces an UltraViolet electromagnetic wave. This can vary because there are several different lasers that can be used in lasik surgery.
Why does electromagnetic radiation in the ultraviolet region represent a larger energy transition than does radiation in the region?
Well, it's hard not to say "It's just the way it is", because it follows a law of Physics, but I'll try to explain the best I can.Up the electromagnetic spectrum is this order. Radio, Microwave, Infrared, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, ultraviolet, X-ray, and Gamma. The higher up the radiation, the smaller the wavelength (the length of the wave, intuitively), and the higher the frequency (the amount of "waving" done in a second).Since frequency (aforementioned) is directly proportional to Energy with the equation E=hf (or instead of "f", "v" as wikipedia loves to call it), it makes sense that the higher the frequency, the higher the energy per photon. Right?UV is definitely above infrared in this case, and has been repeatedly proven through experiments to be on a higher tier than infrared radiation.

How do you explain the different types of electromagnetic energy?
Electromagnetic (EM) energy is just one type of energy. It's a force in nature, and is one of the four fundamental forces we know of (along with gravity, and the strong and weak interactions, or forces). Let's look at how electromagnetic energy appears, and we'll do that by looking across the range of frequencies in which it is distributed. We call this distribution the electromagnetic spectrum, and we'll start at the bottom and work our way up. We'll remind you that low frequency means long wavelength and long period and low energy. Now let's get started. Lowest on the EM spectrum are the extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic waves. We then see the super low (SLF), ultra low (ULF) and very low (VLF) frequencies. Then low (LF), medium (MF) and high (HF) frequencies, then very high (VHF), ultra high (UHF), super high (SHF) and extremely high (EHF) frequencies. All these frequencies of electromagnetic radiation are basically categorized as "radio waves" because that's primarily how we use them, what we use them for - for communications. Certainly the higher end of those groups of frequencies finds applications for other things in addition to communications, and the microwave oven is just one example. Things get more interesting as we go higher. Beyond the microwaves, those frequencies which we use in cell phone and satellite communications (among other things) we have what is called the infrared (IR) region. It's broken down into (in order of increasing frequency, which we've been doing) the far infrared (FIR), mid infrared (MIR) and near infrared (NIR) portions of the spectrum. These are all frequencies just below the optical spectrum, and thermal energy is transmitted fairly effectively by them. From here, we move into the visible spectrum. We're familiar with the red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet of the optical spectrum. We call this visible light, and we just about take it for granted, don't we? (At least sighted people with good color vision do.) Beyond that is the ultraviolet (UV) region, with the near ultraviolet (NUV) and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) ranges within it. All that's left is the soft and hard X-ray (SX and HX) regions, and then the gamma (Y) region at the very top end. We're familiar with the X-rays and what they do, and the gamma rays, generated by changes in atomic nuclei, are just the extreme top end of the spectrum. Use the link below to do some review and look at some different aspects of the electromagnetic spectrum. Continue your investigation and discover how we generate and use these different frequencies of electromagnetic energy. You'll find more surprises than you can count.
How does each wave in an electromagnetic spectrum work?
It goes from longer waves, to shorter waves. Another words Low Frequency to High frequency. I'm not quite sure how to explain how they EACH as and individual wave work.

explain components involved in working of infrared spectrophotometer?
It identifies substances that are in organic compounds by measuring the absorption of infrared radiation over a range of frequencies.
What is explain in detail?
Light is the part of the electromagnetic spectrum we can see, at one end is the ones that can damage our cells (gamma, X - Ray and UV) and at the other is Radio waves and Microwaves. There may be more either end of the spectrum but we are yet to develop technology that can measure them.Light is visible to humans and other (but not all) creatures, it is a form of energy and can be converted into other forms of energy (light to heat for example). But, as a form of energy, it cannot be destroyed, only changed into other forms. I have mentioned that light is an electromagnetic wave but there is controversy over the subject. The ultraviolet catastrophe shows that light has properties of a particle while Young's double-slit experiment shows that light must be an electromagnetic wave. As Bender puts it in Bender's Big Score 'I don't know if you're waves or particles, but you go down smooth.'

Explain why the energy of infrared waves is greater than the energy of radio waves?
The energy of infrared waves is greater than the energy of radio waves. This is because infrared waves has a smaller wavelength compared to radio waves. The smaller the wavelength, the higher the energy.
