∙ 15y agoIt is our eyes that are capable of detecting a portion of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum called visible light, or the optical spectrum. We describe the different frequencies by color, with red being the lowest of the frequencies we can see. Higher on the spectrum we find orange, yellow, green, blue and violet (purple), and this is just like the colors of the rainbow or the spectrum of visible light. Before we refer you to links below, we'll say that increasing frequencies of light have increasing energy, and have decreasing wavelength. As frequency goes up, the energy of the light goes up and the wavelength goes down, or becomes shorter.

Human eyes can detect this portion of the electromagnetic spectrum?
Light
The entire range of em waves is called the?
The total of all electromagnetic waves is called the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light waves, ultraviolet radiation, x-rays, and gamma rays. Only visible light waves, which humans see as the band of colors from red to violet, are the portion of the spectrum visible to the human eye, although many other life forms are sensitive to infrared and possibly to other segments the spectrum.
What wavelengths can the human eye see?
Human eye is sensitive to an approximate range of wave length of EM radiation from 380nm to 760nm. This portion of electromagnetic spectrum is identified as "visible light" These wavelengths roughly correspond to the colors violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red.
Electromagnetic radiation visible to the human eye?
The human eye can view the visible light spectrum, which is a segment of the electromagnetic spectrum. It has been concluded that the human eyeball can reveal wavelengths that vary from about 400 to about 700 nanometers.
What are the colours in the visible spectrum of light?
The colors in the visible spectrum of light are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
Human eyes can detect this portion of the electromagnetic spectrum?
Light
Which portion of the electromagnetic spectrum can be viewed with the bare human?
The visible light spectrum (wavelengths from 380 to 700 nanometers)
The portion of the electromagnetic spectrum visible to the human eye is known as?
The (not surprising) name is "visible light."
What is the range of light called?
The visible spectrum is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to (can be detected by) the human eye. Electromagnetic radiation in this range of wavelengths is called visible light or simply light.
What matches with radiant heat on the electromagnetic spectrum?
The portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that produces radiant energy is sometimes referred to as electromagnetic waves. It is not visible to the human eye.
What is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum visible to the human eye?
We refer to this portion as "visible light," which has wavelengths between 390 nm and 700 nm.
The entire range of em waves is called the?
The total of all electromagnetic waves is called the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light waves, ultraviolet radiation, x-rays, and gamma rays. Only visible light waves, which humans see as the band of colors from red to violet, are the portion of the spectrum visible to the human eye, although many other life forms are sensitive to infrared and possibly to other segments the spectrum.

Which portion of the electromagnetic spectum can be viewed with the bare human eye?
The visible light spectrum (wavelengths from 380 to 700 nanometers)
Electromagnetic radiation visible to the human eye?
The human eye can view the visible light spectrum, which is a segment of the electromagnetic spectrum. It has been concluded that the human eyeball can reveal wavelengths that vary from about 400 to about 700 nanometers.
What are the colours in the visible spectrum of light?
The colors in the visible spectrum of light are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
What does the spectrum in the electromagnetic spectrum do?
I suppose you mean the visible spectrum, only a small part of the entire electromagnetic spectrum. The visible spectrum is basically all of the colors the human eye can detect.
