Detailed explanation-1: -What is the visible light spectrum? 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: -Visible light waves are the only wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum that humans can see. The different wavelengths of visible light are seen as the colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

Detailed explanation-3: -The portion of the electromagnetic spectrum ranging between 400 and 750 nm is the visible region. When we use the term “light", we refer to the type of electromagnetic wave that can be seen by most humans-the EM wave that stimulates your retina.

Detailed explanation-4: -Red has the lowest energy and violet the highest. Beyond red and violet are many other kinds of light our human eyes can’t see, much like there are sounds our ears can’t hear. On one end of the electromagnetic spectrum are radio waves, which have wavelengths billions of times longer than those of visible light.
