Visible light makes up only a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum The visible light spectrum can be divided into different wavelenghts of light The wavelength of the light determines the color of that light The light spectrum goes from violet to red where red is the longest wavelength
The portion of the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelengths between 380 and 720 nanometers Wavelengths in this range provoke the sense of color when they impinge on the photoreceptors in the human retina The shorter wavelengths within this range produce blue and violet sensations; the longer wavelengths produce orange and red sensations
That portion of the electromagnetic spectrum occupied by the wavelengths of visible radiation, roughly 4000 to 7000 angstroms This portion of the electromagnetic spectrum is bounded on the short-wavelength end by ultraviolet radiation, and on the long-wavelength end by infrared radiation
The small range of the electromagnetic spectrum that human eyes percieve as light The visible spectrum ranges from about 4000 to 7000 angstroms, corresponding to blue through red light
Part of the electromagnetic spectrum, with wavelengths from approximately 380nm to 780nm, to which the human eye is sensitive The combined wavelengths of the visible spectrum result in "white light"
the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum to which the eye is sensitive, i e , light with wavelengths between 0 4 and 0 7 micrometers Compare shortwave radiation and longwave radiation
The bands of colored light that appear when white light is passes through a prism
That portion of the electromagnetic spectrum to which the human eye is sensitive; wave-lengths of approximately 400 through 700 namometers Due to the characteristics of cone sensing (color reading mechanism of the retina), it is generally agreed that humans detect only red, green, and blue All perceived colors are combinations of those sensitivities (hue) in relation to the strength of the transmitted or reflected light (brightness) and the intensity of the light hitting the retina (saturation) Ultraviolet wavelengths are longer than the sensitivity range of the eye
The region of the electromagnetic spectrum between 380 and 720 nanometers Wavelengths inside this span create the sensation of color when they are viewed by the human eye The shorter wavelengths create the sensation of violets, purples, and blues; the longer wavelengths create the sensation of oranges and reds
the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum lying between 0 38 and 0 78 micrometers
Wavelengths perceived by the human eye as colors You cannot reproduce but about 40% of the visible spectrum graphically
The portion of the electromagnetic spectrum which the human eye can detect, wavelengths of approximately 400 through 700 nanometers Due to the characteristics of cone sensing (color reading mechanism of the retina), it is generally agreed that humans detect only red, green, and blue All perceived colors are combinations of those sensitivities (hue) in relation to the strength of the transmitted or reflected light (brightness) and the intensity of the light hitting the retina (saturation)
The portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that extends from long wavelength red light to short wavelength violet light
