Ultraviolet light is invisible to the human eye. UV light is found in sunlight and is emitted by electric arcs and specialized lights such as black lights. It can cause chemical reactions, and causes many substances to glow or fluoresce. Most ultraviolet is classified as non-ionizing radiation.

∙ 11y agoThe word "visible" has been given to a certain range of wavelengths/frequencies of
electromagnetic radiation, to indicate that it is the range within which the radiation,
when it enters the eyes of humans with normal vision, is consciously perceived. In
short, it is entirely accurate and proper to state that light which is categorized as
"visible" can indeed be seen by humans and, moreover, that that which is not cannot.

Can visable light be dangerous to humans?
YES. Visible light is the leading cause of death of humans on the Earth and is extremely dangerous. THIS IS IMPORTANT. If you see visible light in the wild, DO NOT APPROACH IT. I am the administrator of the Organization for Protection Of Humans from the Dangers of Visible Light (OPOHDOVL). Always remember to watch out for visible light in the daytime. That's when they get you!
What is the definition of visible light?
"By virtue of the visible light cast by the headlights mounted on the front of my car, I was able to see and avoid the deer standing in the road, pausing only to make further use of the visible light and snap a photograph to capture the look of terror in the eyes of the hapless beast."
How are visible light radiowaves and other forms of electromagnetic radiation different from each other?
The only part of the electromagnetic spectrum that we can see is the small yet significant part of visible light. Visible light is not harmful for humans, but some of the other types of waves are.
What electromagnetic spectrum are safe for humans?
in electromagnetic spectrum visible light is safe for humans
The range of colors that makes up white light is called the bright light spectrum?
No. They're called the visible spectrum, the range of wavelengths us humans can see.
Are microwaves visible to humans?
No, microwaves aren't visible to humans. Microwaves are electromagnetic energy, and the only electromagnetic energy humans can see is that of visible light.
Can visable light be dangerous to humans?

What humans use visible light waves for?
To see things.
What kinds of lights can humans see?
Only in the 'visible light' spectrum.
Who invented visible light?
Visible light doesn't have to be invented. Light is a naturally occurring phenomenon under some circumstances, and the part that us humans can see we call "visible light".
What do humans see different wavelengths of as light?
Different wavelengths of visible light are different colors.
Are humans able to see the light?
Humans are able to see light (hence called "visible light" on the electromagnetic spectrum). Otherwise, you couldn't see anything. (And I have a B in science class...PLEASE)
What is the definition of visible light?

What is a very narrow range of wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum that humans can see?
Visible light.
Why you cant see visible light?
If your vision is normal, then you CAN see visible light.
What type of electromagnetic waves are humans able to see?
The part that can be seen by human eyes is called visible light.
What is the light that we can see?
visible light
