Visible light would be the light that is visible to our eyes in the spectrum, it goes in sequence: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet. The colors beyond red and violet are not visible to our eyes. Colors beyond red are known as Infrared, and colors beyond violet are known as ultraviolet.

Why are atoms invisible to visible light?

Atoms are typically smaller in size than the wavelength of visible light, which makes them difficult to detect using visible light. Additionally, atoms do not absorb or reflect visible light in a way that allows them to be seen by the human eye. Special techniques such as electron microscopes are often used to visualize atoms.


Does visible light rays coming from earth surface heat the atmosphere in a way similar to the way a green house is heated?

Visible light rays from the Sun penetrate the atmosphere and heat the Earth's surface. The Earth absorbs this energy and then emits it back as infrared radiation, which is absorbed by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This process, known as the greenhouse effect, warms the atmosphere and helps regulate Earth's temperature.


What form of electromagnetic waves falls just after visible light on the electromagnetic spectrum this form will have higher energy and a shorter wavelenght than visible light?

That depends which way you are moving along the electromagnetic spectrum.If you are moving from low to high frequency, then the last category before visible light is infrared radiation.If you are moving from short to long wavelength, then the last category before visible light is ultraviolet radiation.


Are rough er visible under a light miscroscope?

yes you can see them under a microscope and by the way have a good day (:


Is light visible or invisible and why?

Light is both Visible, and Invisible. It depends on what frequency of light it is, and also what Species you are. For example, we Humans can't see ultra violet light but some animals, like Snakes, can see it.

Is Visible Radiation is another way of referring to the light that you can see with your eyes?

It's really the best way, because "visible" means "able to be seen with your eyes".

How does light speed as a constant apply to things such as x rays gamma rays etc and anything else beyond visible light in the spectrum?

Light speed as a constant applies to the spectrum beyond visible light the same way as visible light c= fw where c is a constant then the product of wavelength w and frequency f is a constant beyond the visible spectrum.


What makes matter visible?

Matter is visible because of the way it interacts with light. When light hits an object, some wavelengths are absorbed and some are reflected or transmitted. The reflected or transmitted light carries information about the object's color and appearance, making it visible to our eyes.

What is the healthiest way to keep your inground pool clean?

Bromine is a healthy alternative for those with allergic reactions to chlorine to clean your in-ground pool. Ozone generators with ultraviolent light is another healthy alternative to cleaning an in-ground pool.


How is visible light related to kinetic energy?

Visible light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that carries energy. When light interacts with an object, it can transfer its energy to the object, causing its particles to move and vibrate, which is known as kinetic energy. In this way, visible light is related to kinetic energy by transferring energy to objects and causing them to move.


Why can radio telescope can see things that a telescope that detect visible light cant?

-- The source may be one that emits electromagnetic energy in the radio portion of the spectrum but little or no visible light. -- There may be material in the way, such as dust or gas, that absorbs visible light but doesn't absorb radio energy.


Why is glass transparent to visible light?

Glass is transparent to visible light because its molecular structure allows light to pass through without being absorbed or scattered. The atoms in glass are arranged in a way that does not disrupt the flow of light, allowing it to pass through easily.

Is black the absence of all light or the absortion of all light waves in hair?

Both. Where you perceive what we call 'black', what you perceive is the absence of any visible light coming from that place. One way for that to happen is for no visible light to reach that place, so that there's none to bounce off toward your eyes.. Another way for it to happen is for the substance at that place to absorb any visible light that does reach it, so that there's none left to bounce off of it toward your eyes.
