What are the colors of viable light?

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. However the human eye is actually only sensitive to RED, GREEN and BLUE light.


What color is least visible to the human eye and why?

The color least visible to the human eye is blue. This is because the human eye is less sensitive to shorter wavelengths of light, such as blue, compared to longer wavelengths like red and green.


What wavelengths of light does the eye respond to the most?

The human eye is most sensitive to wavelengths of light between 400-700 nanometers, known as the visible light spectrum. This range includes the colors of the rainbow: violet, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red. Outside of this range, the eye is less sensitive to light.


A failure of the red-sensitive nerves in the eye to respond to respond to light properly causes?

Color blindness is the failure of the red sensitive nerves in the eye that don't respond to light properly.


Are red light and infrared light the same?

No, red light and infrared light are not the same. Red light has a longer wavelength and is visible to the human eye, while infrared light has a shorter wavelength and is not visible to the human eye.


Why is the eye more sensitive for red colors?

It's not. The eye is most sensitive to lime-green. Specifically, light in the neighborhood of 564 nm wavelength.


Why am I seeing red in the dark?

Seeing red in the dark is due to a phenomenon called dark adaptation. The human eye is more sensitive to red light in low light conditions because the cones in the retina that detect color are less active, while the rods that detect light are more sensitive to red wavelengths. This allows us to see better in the dark with red light compared to other colors.


Why are danger signals in red when eye is most sensitive to yellow-green?

because human eye is sensitive to yellow and green, it has become a tradition to use red as a signal for caution also red colour has largest longest wavelength


How do you see light spectrum?

The human eye perceives the visible light spectrum, which spans from violet to red. When light enters the eye, it is interpreted by specialized cells called cones, each sensitive to different wavelengths of light. The brain then processes this information to create the perception of color.


What color is Human eye sensitive to?

It is either red, yellow, or green that's why most fire trucks and ambulences are red


Is the wave length of infrared light too short to be seen or too long?

The wavelength of infra-red light is LONGER than the wavelength of red light, and longer than anything to which the eye responds.


A failure of the red-sensitive nerves in the eye to respond to light properly causes?

color blindness
