What else can I help you with?
What phase is the moon in when only a small portion of the moon is visible?
crescent
What is visible light and what portion can humans detect?
Visible light waves are the electromagnetic waves which are detected by the human eye. They make up only a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum. So, visible light is any light in which the human eye can detect.
Why is it true to say that all EM radiation is light even though we can see only a small slice of the spectrum as visible light?
Visible light is a very small part of the EM spectrum and it is intellectual laziness to refer to all EM radiation as light.
Why astronomers study radiation beyond the violet end of visible light and beyond the red end of visible light?
Astronomers study as much of the spectrum of radiation as they can, and the visible spectrum is only a small segment of it.
What section of the electromagnetic spectrum would you use to study waves that humans can see?
The visible light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum would be used to study waves that humans can see. This portion of the spectrum includes colors ranging from red to violet and is the only part of the spectrum visible to the human eye.
Can we see most of the light in the spectrum?
No. We can only see visible light, which is only a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Which em wave is only a small band within the broad electromagnetic spectrum?
Visible light is the electromagnetic wave that falls within a small band of the broad electromagnetic spectrum. It is the only portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye.
Is light visible or not?
Only a small piece of the light spectrum is visible to us.
What phase is the moon in when only a small portion of the moon is visible?

What is visible light and what portion can humans detect?
Visible light waves are the electromagnetic waves which are detected by the human eye. They make up only a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum. So, visible light is any light in which the human eye can detect.
Does light make up a small or large portion of the electromagnetic spectrum?
No, it is only a very small portion.
What color absorbs heat poorly?
Usually the darker colors because they absorb the most light, reflecting only a small portion of what they receive. The lighter colors absorb the least and reflect larger portions of the received light.
What is the only radiant energy that you can see?
The only radiant energy that I can see is the radiant energy that I call "visible light".It is the main source of my ability to perceive that Grant's Tomb is indeed colored orange.
Are there only seven colors of light?
No, there are actually infinitely many colors of light. The colors that we see are a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, with each color corresponding to a different wavelength of light. The visible spectrum consists of colors from red to violet, but there are many other colors that are outside of our visible range such as ultraviolet and infrared light.
How many different frequencies does the sun have?
The sun emits a wide range of frequencies across the electromagnetic spectrum, but human eyes can only detect a small portion known as visible light. In addition to visible light, the sun also emits ultraviolet, infrared, and radio frequencies, among others.
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.
Why is it true to say that all EM radiation is light even though we can see only a small slice of the spectrum as visible light?
Visible light is a very small part of the EM spectrum and it is intellectual laziness to refer to all EM radiation as light.
