When the wavelength is within the visible spectrum (400 nm to 700 nm), it is known as "visible light". Visible light is a small part within the electromagnetic spectrum that human eyes are sensitive to. Visible light waves are essentially the electromagnetic waves we can see. They consist of different wavelengths. Each wavelength is a particular colour. The colour we see is a result of which wavelengths are reflected back to our eyes. Red has the longest wavelength, and...
