In your eyes are two groups of light detecting sensors at the Retina. Cones detect colour and rods detect light. The Cones are further divided into sensors for three different colours, (red, blue, and green) but their colour sensitivities overlap, so we see our full colour spectrum.
The Rods are much more sensitive than the cones, but only detect the presence of light. That is why generally you cannot determine colours at night.
What else can I help you with?
What is a wavelength of light that can be seen called?
It is literally called visible light..
Which form of light cannot be seen?
Ultraviolet light cannot be seen by the human eye as it has a shorter wavelength than visible light.
The wavelength of infra-red light is too what for it to be seen?
The wavelength is too long to be seen by our eyes.
What electromagnetic wave can be seen by humans?
Visible light is the electromagnetic wave that can be seen by humans. It encompasses the colors of the rainbow ranging from violet (shorter wavelength) to red (longer wavelength). Beyond the visible light spectrum are ultraviolet and infrared rays that are not visible to the human eye.
Do blue visible light and red visible light have the same wavelength?
No, blue and red visible light have different wavelengths. if you see the rainbow, blue and red can been seen on separate stripes which means they have different wavelengths.
What color of visible light has longest wavelength?
Red is the longest wavelength of visible light
What color of visible light has the longest wavelength?
Red is the longest wavelength of visible light
Which type of visible light has the longest wavelength?
The longest wavelength / lowest frequency visible light is the red end of the spectrum. The shortest wavelength / highest frequency visible light is the violet end of the spectrum.
What colour light has the lowest wavelength?
Violet light has the lowest wavelength in the visible light spectrum.
Is a red light a visible light with the shortest wavelength?
No, red light has the longest wavelength within the visible light spectrum.
Is the Visible light with the shortest wavelength a red light?
No, red light has the longest wavelength within the visible light spectrum.
Which end of the visible electromagnetic spectrum has longer wavelength Red or Blude?
Deep dark red is the visible light with the longest wavelength. Violet is the visible light with the shortest wavelength.
