Humans can see a limited portion of the electromagnetic spectrum called visible light, which ranges from red to violet. Our eyes have evolved to detect these wavelengths, as they are most relevant for our survival. Other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, such as infrared and ultraviolet, are invisible to us because our eyes lack the receptors to detect them.
