Visible light has the spectrum VIBGYOR. Violet is at one extreme having highest
frequency and red is at the other end having least frequency. Less frequency means
having longest wavelength, since wavelength and frequency are inversely related. As
we go beyond violet then it is named as ultraviolet. Same way as we go beyond red,
then it known as infra red. So its wavelength has to be greater than that of red.
Hence longer wavelength for IR radiations. IR is what we call 'thermal' radiation,
in other words, 'heat'.
What else can I help you with?
Does your hand emit long or short wave radiation and how do you know?
Long wave radiation in the form of infrared waves. These can be seen with an infrared camera.
How is color related to the wavelength of visible light?
It affects the color of the light. If you change the wavelength of visible light, you change the light's color. For instance. Red is a wavelength of approximately 650 nanometers. Orange, about 590. Yellow, 570. Green- 510, Blue, 475 nanometers. Indigo is 445 and Violet is about 400. You can see more here: http://eosweb.larc.nasa.gov/EDDOCS/Wavelengths_for_Colors.html#red
Which best explains the relationship the electromagnetic spectrum and sight?
Visible light and infrared light are the parts of the electromagnetic spectrum that can be seen with the 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.
Which best explains the relationship between the electromagnetic spectrum and sight?
Visible light and infrared light are the parts of the electromagnetic spectrum that can be seen with the eye.
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.
Is infrared light too long wavelength or too short wavelength to be seen?
I looked it up in my physics text book and it says that the wavelength is too long to be seen by the human eye.
Is the wavelength of infrared light is too long or short to be seen by humans?
I looked it up in my physics text book and it says that the wavelength is too long to be seen by the human eye.
Is wavelength of infrared light too long or to short to be seen by humans?
I looked it up in my physics text book and it says that the wavelength is too long to be seen by the human eye.
Is the wavelength of the infrared light too long or short to be seen be humans?
I looked it up in my physics text book and it says that the wavelength is too long to be seen by the human eye.
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.
Is it true the wavelength of infra-red light is too short for it to be seen?
Yes, infrared light has a longer wavelength than visible light, which makes it invisible to the human eye. Our eyes can only detect wavelengths within a certain range, so infrared light is not within that range and is therefore invisible to us.
Is the wavelength of infrared light too short or long to be seen by humans?
I looked it up in my physics text book and it says that the wavelength is too long to be seen by the human eye.
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.
How can one see an infrared light beam?
To see an infrared light beam, one can use an infrared camera or infrared goggles that can detect and display the infrared light as visible light. These devices convert the infrared light into a visible image that can be seen by the human eye.
What is a wavelength of light that can be seen called?
It is literally called visible light..
Visible light fits between?
Visible light fits between ultraviolet and infrared on the electromagnetic spectrum. It has a wavelength range of approximately 400 to 700 nanometers and is the only part of the spectrum that can be seen by the human eye.
