What is the meaning of visible light?
The scientific definition of light is--a wavelength of electromagnetic radiation between 3,800 and 7,600 angstrom units to which the retina of the eye is sensitive and a part of the electromagnetic spectrum the brain interprets. That physical response of our eyes reacting to light, long before it could be defined as retina and wavelength, has engendered a light-defined vocabulary over centuries. For example, when we talk about the physical properties of light, we talk of, "the light at the end of the tunnel," "by the light of the moon."
What are the 5 uses of visible light?
4 important technological uses of light are RADIO WAVES,MICRO WAVES, SOLAR CELL,& LASER.
What re some harmful effects for visible light waves?
Visible light waves, or the stream of photons with frequencies within the band
allocated to human visual applications, as well as their spurious products and
inadequately suppressed harmonics (the photons' that is, not the humans'), can
indeed often prove harmful, typically and primarily with regard to their potential
emotional consequences. It's impossible to over-estimate the chance possibility
of an individual's inadvertent exposure to scenes that anger, annoy, befuddle,
confuse, corrupt, erupt, disrupt, disappoint, disorient, depress, oppress, terrify,
irritate, titillate, or stimulate a thousand other outrageous and unfortunate slings
and arrows that flesh is heir to. And, considering the element of surprise, it is
unlikely that one could, simply by opposing, end them. As the danger is primarily
emotional, so is the solution: The conscious decision taken by every man-jack
among us, in his heart, that his synapses and receptors were not created for
moments when there is no stress, but that they are for such moments as these,
when body and soul rise up in mutiny against their rigour, that he consider the
alternative, and resolve that he just won't let things like that bother him.
Red light.
What are things that don't reflect light?
everything does. theoretically the only thing that does not refract light would be something that is pure black, although it is doubtful it is physically possible to make something that does that.
Additional answer
I presume you mean balloons. I also think you might mean reflect rather than refract, because why would a balloon refract light?
Does red light have a higher frequency than green light?
No, red light is lower frequency than green light.
What are three natural non living sources of visible light?
Anything that radiates electromagnetic waves between 390 and 700nm, i.e. Sun, Hot Metal, Ionized particles
When light waves enter a new medium and bend what occurs?
When light enters a different medium, the amount that the light is bent as it enters the medium is determined by the medium's index of refraction.
What is higher in frequency and has shorter wavelengths than visible light?
Ultraviolet (UV) light has higher frequency and shorter wavelengths than visible light. UV light is invisible to the human eye but can be harmful in large doses, causing skin damage and increasing the risk of cancer.
What color of visible light has the fastest velocity?
As long as they're all traveling through the same material,
all colors of visible light have virtually identical speed.
What color in the visible light spectrum has the greatest frequency?
Yellow Green (555 nm) is seen most easily.

Does ultraviolet light or visible light bend more when passing through a prism?
the last one on the list
What All of the visible color light waves together result in light?
true
White light is made up of all the colors of the visible spectrum. If we drop back to the idea of the colors of the rainbow, the red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet, we'll have the colors. The colors making up white light are all the colors from red to violet. Said another way, all the colors of light from the infrared to the ultraviolet make up white light.
White light is made up of every other color of light. Blue, red, yellow, orange, everything. When these colors of light are combined, they form white light
the apex answer is: white light....... :0).
Why is looking at a laser light so dangerous?
A laser is "concentrated light" in that its light of pretty much one frequency and focused in a tight beam. And if this light is directed into someone's eyes, damage to the retina can result. In higher power lasers, we find applications where they can inscribe diamonds or cut all kinds of things, including metal. If a laser beam can cut through a thick metal plate, it can cut through flesh with ease. A laser this powerful could take off a limb. Directed at the eye, it would destroy the eye in an instant. Spaces where lasers are being used require that warning signs be posted and that individuals working there wear appropriate eye protection. Divergence from safety procedures can result in serious injury.
What kind of spectrum is a solar spectrum?
the answer to this question is when you use the power around you and it comes in as one so basically that is why it is called solar power
How do waves of visible light differ from red to violet?
Quantum Fluctuation
E'=h(1/To - 1/T)=(h'/2)(1/x')
x'=(h'/2)(1/h)/(1/To - 1/T)
2(pi)x'=(1/2)(ToT)/(T-To)
x=nx'
How is visible light convert to infrared in greenhouse effect?
In the greenhouse effect, sunlight (which includes visible light) enters the Earth's atmosphere and warms the surface of the planet. This heat is then re-radiated as infrared radiation (heat energy) back towards space. However, greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trap some of this infrared radiation, causing the planet to heat up more than it would naturally.
What part of a gas flame is invisible giving off no light at all?
Gas is invisible because of the substances it has comined with. Not all gases are invisible. Some are poisionis and some are harmless. Gas can be of just water vaper. If the gas molecules combine into a larger size they may fall and it would not be called a gas substance any more.
What is optical center of lens?
The optical center of a lens is a point on the lens axis where light passing through the lens does not deviate, regardless of the angle of incidence. It is often used as a reference point for optical calculations and design. The optical center is typically at the geometric center of a lens with a symmetrical shape.
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.
What are the colors of light from the longest wavelength to the shortest wavelength?
You could memorize the seven spectrum colors in order with a word called [roygbiv] or Roy G. Biv, as most learn it. The colors of the rainbow are in the order from longest wavelength to shortest, with red having the longest wavelength and violet having the shortest.
r= red
o=orange
y=yellow
g=green
b=blue
i=indigo
v=violet
