Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The range of wavelengths from 380 to 760 nanometres is known as the
A
electrochemical light spectrum.
B
invisible light spectrum.
C
visible electrochemical spectrum.
D
visible light spectrum.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The visible light spectrum is the segment of the electromagnetic spectrum that the human eye can view. More simply, this range of wavelengths is called visible light. Typically, the human eye can detect wavelengths from 380 to 700 nanometers.

Detailed explanation-2: -The wavelengths of visible light are: Violet: 380–450 nm (688–789 THz frequency)

Detailed explanation-3: -Electromagnetic radiation in this range of wavelengths is called visible light or simply light. A typical human eye will respond to wavelengths from about 380 to about 750 nanometers. In terms of frequency, this corresponds to a band in the vicinity of 400–790 terahertz.

Detailed explanation-4: -Light is defined as the electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths between 380 and 750 nm which is visible to the human eye.

Detailed explanation-5: -The visible light has a wavelength range from about 380 nm (violet) to 780 nm (red).
