The nature of light is not what causes vision. Vision is due to the reaction of organic chemicals and special cells in the eye to particular wavelenghts.
One could imagine creatures that see slighlty better than humans in the near IR and the near UV, but basic physics makes imaging in the farther IR not very sharp, and the farther wavelengths of UV are very hard for living tissues to focus, and they cause fluorescence. UV also damages DNA and other cellular material. What we are stuck with seems to be what most life forms use for vision.
What else can I help you with?
Why do you need light to see?
Light is needed in order to perceive visual information because it stimulates the light-sensitive cells in your eyes (rods and cones). These cells then convert the light into electrical signals that are sent to the brain for processing. Without light, these cells are not stimulated and you are unable to see.
What do you need to see a shadow?

How fast would you have to drive in order to see a red light as green?
To see a red light as green, you would have to drive at a speed faster than the speed of light, which is not possible according to the laws of physics.
What does an object need to do for you to see it?
For you to see an object, it needs to reflect or emit light towards your eyes. Light bounces off the object and enters your eyes, where it is interpreted by your brain as vision.
What kind of energy do you need in order to see?
light waves
What do you need in order to see a shadow?
We need an source of light, an opaque object blocking the path of light, a screen behind the opaque object.
Why does the moon depend on light from the sun?
It does not emit any light of its own, so in order to see it we need sunlight.
Do fish need light in order to eat?

Can you see colors without the light?
no because you need light to see
Why cant you see a book in the dark room?
Because in order to see you need light. You need light because light reflects off things and bounces back to your eyes, and that's how you see things. So if there isn't any light in a dark room then light can't bounce back and you can't see the words
