In the full spectrum, humans can only see 3% of the rays. Other animals can say more, some scientists predict cats see 20% of the spectrum.
Visible light is PART of the electromagnetic spectrum... ... The Electromagnetic Spectrum encompasses everything from Gamma waves to Radio rays, and visible light sits slap bang in the middle of the two... ... The other radiation types of the electromagnetic spectrum are (from highest to lowest frequency - with their approximate wavelengths) : * Gamma (10-12m) * X-ray (10-10m) * ultravoilet (10-8m) * VISIBLE (0.5x10-6m) * Infra Red (10-5m) * Microwaves (10-2m) * Radio waves (103m)
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.
The electromagnetic spectrum consists of a range of energies, from low-energy radio waves to high-energy gamma rays. This spectrum includes various types of energy, such as visible light, infrared radiation, ultraviolet light, X-rays, and microwaves, each having specific properties and interactions with matter.
The Visible Spectrum is that part of the Electromagnetic Spectrum which can be seen with the naked eye. It consists of the frequencies between 380 nanometers and 700 nanometers. It consists of the colors Violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red. You can get information on the total Electromagnetic Spectrum from Wikipedia or any other encylopedia.
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.

Electromagnetic waves comprise a complete spectrum of wavelengths, it makes no sense to talk about "individual" waves as is asked in the question.It is also incorrect to talk about the "largeness" of a wave, what is important is the wavelength not the amplitude.The spectrum is divided into portions and names given to the wavelengths within a given portion.Thus portions of the spectrum with wavelengths longerthan that portion of the spectrum called "visible light" are:Infra red light (also called heat)MicrowavesRadio wavesIf we go the other way and look at the portion of the spectrum with wavelengths shorter than visible light, we get:UltravioletX-rayGamma ray
The electromagnetic spectrum is made up of different types of electromagnetic waves, including radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. These waves are classified based on their wavelength and frequency, with longer wavelengths and lower frequencies at one end (radio waves) and shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies at the other end (gamma rays).
Yes, visible light makes up the middle region of the Electromagnetic spectrum. Therefore, light is a form electromagnetic radiation.
All parts of the electromagnetic spectrum cause heat, and fires emit EM radiation based on a plank curve. However, in the majority of "normal" fires, the most common source is in the infrared spectrum.
Yes, the sun radiates both visible energy in the form of light and invisible energy in the form of ultraviolet (UV), infrared (IR), and other wavelengths. The visible light we see makes up a small portion of the sun's total electromagnetic spectrum.
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.
The EM spectrum includes visible light. If an object moving very fast comes toward a reference point, the visible light radiating off it/reflecting off it gets "squashed": the wavelengths become shorter. This makes the visible light accquire a blue tinge. The opposite happens for an object heading away, and it looks more red.
