ALL of the electromagnetic spectrum
except for that narrow band that we can perceive.
There are many names for various portions, mainly because they were discovered at different times by different people.
For example : radio, infra-red, ultra-violet, X-rays, heat, microwaves, etc.

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 types of light bulb converts ultraviolet waves in to visible light waves?
fluorescent
What types of electromagnetic radiation have lower energy than microwaves?
the two types of electromagnetic radiations next to visible light in the electromagnetic spectrum are the two types of electromagnetic radiations next to visible light in the electromagnetic spectrumAnswer2: Infrared and Ultra Violet are next to visible light.
Can light travel through matter?
Yes! Light travels through any material that does not completely absorb it. Visible light can only travel through materials that are called either transparent or translucent. Visible light travels through glass all the time. Visible light also travels through your cornea and the gel-like material that is in your eyeball. There are other types of light than visible light, such as ultraviolet (UV). UV is light that has more energy than visible light. This is the type of light that can give you a sunburn. There are even more energetic types of light like X-rays. They go through lots of material that visible light can't -- like skin and organs, but they do not go through bones or teeth very well.
Most sunlight consists of what parts of the electromagnetic spectrum?
The visible spectrum (the radiation we can see as light). This is most likely why organisms evolved to be able to see visible light over other types of electromagnetic radiation - the sun emits this more than the other frequencies, so it was easier for life to evolve seeing this spectrum.
What is the light called that the retina can detect?
"visible light." it has a shorter wavelength than other light types. "visible light." it has a shorter wavelength than other light types.
Which electromagnetic radiation can be seen with the human eye?
Visible light waves
What can radiation do to the human body?
That depends what radiation - there are several types. For example, visible light, in the usual quantities, does no harm at all. A very intense light, or other types of radiation, can be very harmful indeed.That depends what radiation - there are several types.

What are some different types of light besides visible?
Infrared and ultraviolet. X-rays, Gamma-rays, micro-waves, etc. etc.

How many types of light are available in the market?
visible and non-visible. 2.
What do mirror do to light waves?
there are three types of light waves i.e infrared light, visible light and ultra violet light. Out of these, only visible light rays (waves) gets reflected by the mirror but the other two light waves passes through the mirror.
How do we know there are types of electromagnetic radiation other than visible light?
Because experiments and technology have enabled us to prove the electromagnetic spectrum extends beyond the narrow band of visible light.
What do mirrors do to light wave?
As you know that there are three types of light waves i.e infrared light, visible light and ultra violet light. Out of these, only visible light rays (waves) gets reflected by the mirror but the other two light waves passes through the mirror.
What types of electromagnetic radiation can you see?
Visible light.
What types of light bulb converts ultraviolet waves in to visible light waves?
fluorescent
