It's a tiny tiny tiny portion. The only problem with giving a number is that there are
no numbers for the beginning or end of the electromagnetic spectrum. Although we
know the limits of the range of visibility, there are no physical limits to the full spectrum,
so we don't have a precise numerical way to compare them.
For round numbers, let's say that the visible range consists of wavelengths from 400 to 800 nanometers.
That corresponds to frequencies between 375,000 and 750,000 GHz.
And let's say that the spectrum extends from the bottom of the AM radio dial, up to the beginning
of gamma rays. That range of frequencies is 0.00055 GHz to 10,000,000,000 GHz.
There are two ways to compare the two ranges ... linearly and logarithmically.
Don't get scared. I'll do it gently, and I guarantee it'll be easy to understand.
Linearly:
Visible range . . . 375,000 GHz bottom to top.
Spectrum . . . 10,000,000,000.00055 GHz bottom to top . . . 26,6662/3 times as wide as visible range
Logarithmically:
Visible range . . . 375,000 to 750,000 GHz
. . . double the lowest one once to reach the highest
. . . one octave
Spectrum . . . .00055 to 10,000,000,000 GHz
. . . double the lowest one 44 times to reach the highest
. . . 44 octaves
What else can I help you with?
The light that you can see belongs to the visible spectrum?
Yes, the visible spectrum is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye. It includes wavelengths of light that range from approximately 400 to 700 nanometers. Other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, such as ultraviolet and infrared light, are not visible to the human eye.
The range of colors that makes up white light is called the bright light spectrum?
The range of colors that makes up white light is called the visible light spectrum. This spectrum includes all the colors of the rainbow, from red to violet. Brightness refers to the intensity of light, not to the range of colors present.
What are the Krypton visible spectrum wavelengths?
The visible spectrum wavelengths of Krypton fall in the range of approximately 440 to 740 nanometers. This corresponds to the blue to red part of the visible light spectrum.
What is also known as the visible spectrum?
The visible spectrum is also known as white light. It refers to the range of electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye, typically spanning wavelengths from about 380 to 700 nanometers.
What is Visible light only a small portion of?
Visible light is only a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, which includes a wide range of wavelengths such as radio waves, microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.
What is the only light visible in the electromagnetic spectrum?
the range of the spectrum that's known as "visible light"
The range of colors of visible light is called the?
visible spectrum
What is the range of light called?
The visible spectrum is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to (can be detected by) the human eye. Electromagnetic radiation in this range of wavelengths is called visible light or simply light.
What is the range of colours called?
The range of colors is called a spectrum. This refers to the full range of colors that can be produced by the visible light spectrum, typically ranging from red to violet.
Does brown light exist in the visible spectrum?
No, brown light does not exist in the visible spectrum. The visible spectrum ranges from violet to red, and brown is a combination of different colors that are not within this range.
The light that you can see belongs to the visible spectrum?
Yes, the visible spectrum is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye. It includes wavelengths of light that range from approximately 400 to 700 nanometers. Other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, such as ultraviolet and infrared light, are not visible to the human eye.
Which light has Frequency within the visible light spectrum?
Wavelengths in the range of 0.4 - 0.7 microns are visible.
The range of colors that makes up white light is called the bright light spectrum?
The range of colors that makes up white light is called the visible light spectrum. This spectrum includes all the colors of the rainbow, from red to violet. Brightness refers to the intensity of light, not to the range of colors present.
What are the Krypton visible spectrum wavelengths?
The visible spectrum wavelengths of Krypton fall in the range of approximately 440 to 740 nanometers. This corresponds to the blue to red part of the visible light spectrum.
What is also known as the visible spectrum?
The visible spectrum is also known as white light. It refers to the range of electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye, typically spanning wavelengths from about 380 to 700 nanometers.
What is the name for the range of color that makes up white light?
The visible spectrum.
What is the light spectrum?
The light spectrum is the range of electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye. It consists of different wavelengths of light, each corresponding to a different color. The visible light spectrum ranges from violet (shortest wavelength) to red (longest wavelength).
