Can mosquitoes see in red light?

Bees have three types of colour receptor in their eyes, and their color sensitivities peak in the yellow-green, blue, and ultra-violet regions of the spectrum. This means that bees can see ultra-violet (which we can't), and the yellow-green receptors peak further up the spectrum that our own red-orange receptors. However, the receptors also pick up colours either side of their peak sensitivity, so it is likely that a strong enough red light will be detected, but will not be seen as well as we can see it.


What wavelength of light do bees use to see flowers?

Bees are sensitive to ultraviolet (UV) light and can see in the UV spectrum. Flowers have distinct patterns and colors in the UV range, guiding bees to find nectar and pollen. This special adaptation allows bees to efficiently locate and collect food from flowers.


How are black and white spots of birds described?

All animals with eyes, including humans can see "black and white," or more specifically "light and dark." Birds can also see color. Birds have four types of color receptors in their eyes (humans have three) and can not only see all the colors we can see - they can see more, including partway into the ultra-violet range of the spectrum.


What category of animal sees in the uv spectrum instead of the visile light humans can see?

Many insects, such as bees and butterflies, can see in the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum. This ability allows them to detect patterns on flowers that are invisible to humans, aiding in pollination. Some birds and certain species of reptiles also possess UV vision, which helps them in foraging and mate selection.


How does the em spectrum effect what you see?

The electromagnetic spectrum affects what you see by determining the range of wavelengths of light that are visible to the human eye. Different wavelengths of light correspond to different colors, which combine to create the full spectrum of colors that we can perceive. The interaction of these wavelengths with objects and surfaces determines the colors and brightness that we see.

What spectrum can we see?

We can see the visible spectrum of light, which ranges from violet to red. This spectrum includes all the colors of the rainbow.


Where on the electromagnetic spectrum can see the color violet?

Violet is found at the short-wavelength end of the visible spectrum, with wavelengths approximately between 380 to 450 nanometers. It is adjacent to ultraviolet light, which has even shorter wavelengths. In the electromagnetic spectrum, violet is the color that is closest to the ultraviolet range.


Which animal can see in ultra violet?

Bat


Can a hawk see in color?

Yes, hawks have the ability to see both the colors of the visible light spectrum, as well as the ability to see (in some species, such as a kestrel) in the ultra-violet spectrum.


Why is the part of the electromagnetic spectrum you can see called ultraviolet light?

Its not. You can't see ultraviolet. (it lies just above the visible spectrum.)


What is the part of the spectrum that we can only see with our eyes?

The visible spectrum is the part of the spectrum that we can see with our eyes. It ranges from approximately 400 nanometers (violet/blue) to 700 nanometers (red). This is the range of wavelengths of light that our eyes are sensitive to.


Is the colour of the ultra violet spectrum violet if not why was it given that name?

The ultraviolet spectrum is 'beyond' (ultra) the violet part of the visible spectrum, that is, beyond the short end of the wavelength range. The infrared spectrum is 'within' (infra) the long end of the wavelength range. The two terms have nothing to do with color, which defines the visible spectrum between violet and red.


What color of spectrum that absorb by the plants?

red and violet spectrum


Which color in the visible spectrum has the shortest wavelength?

The shortest wavelength of visible light for your eye is the wavelength of the lastcolor you can see on the blue end of the rainbow. It may be slightly different forsomeone else's eye.


Which part of the em spectrum can humans see colors?

Humans can see colors in the visible light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, which ranges from approximately 400 nanometers (violet) to 700 nanometers (red).


In the spectrum colors what comes between violet and blue?

Indigo is the color that comes between violet and blue in the spectrum.


What Light waves of what color have shortest wavelength and the highest frequency?

That would be the last color you can see on the violet end of the spectrum. The exact point at which it's no longer visible varies among individuals and their eyes.
