ultraviolet radiation
No, not all electromagnetic radiation in the optical portion of the spectrum is visible to the human eye. The visible portion of the spectrum ranges from about 400 nanometers (violet) to 700 nanometers (red), but there are wavelengths outside of this range that can also be classified as part of the optical spectrum, such as ultraviolet and infrared light.
Astronomers study as much of the spectrum of radiation as they can, and the visible spectrum is only a small segment of it.
The visible spectrum
Visible light is a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Humans can see a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum known as visible light, which ranges from approximately 400 to 700 nanometers in wavelength. This spectrum includes colors from violet to red. However, we cannot see other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, such as ultraviolet or infrared radiation, which are outside the visible range.
No, violet radiation is not visible to the human eye. It falls outside of the visible spectrum of light for humans, which ranges from violet to red.
By definition, ultra-violet light is outside the visible spectrum of EM radiation. Thus it is defined as invisible.
Infrared radiation is not part of the UV spectrum; it falls outside of the UV spectrum and has longer wavelengths than visible light. UV radiation, on the other hand, consists of shorter wavelengths than visible light and is classified as UVA, UVB, and UVC based on the wavelength range.
The visible spectrum between red and violet.
No, not all electromagnetic radiation in the optical portion of the spectrum is visible to the human eye. The visible portion of the spectrum ranges from about 400 nanometers (violet) to 700 nanometers (red), but there are wavelengths outside of this range that can also be classified as part of the optical spectrum, such as ultraviolet and infrared light.
The visible spectrum is one band within the full range of electromagnetic radiation.
Astronomers study as much of the spectrum of radiation as they can, and the visible spectrum is only a small segment of it.
Visible radiation (light): 380-760 nm (or 790-400THz)
Radiation is invisible to the human eye because it has a wavelength that is outside the visible spectrum. This means that the energy emitted by radiation is not within the range that our eyes can detect, making it invisible to us.
