Visible Spectrum
Visible light is a type of electro - magnetic radiation that is visible to human eye. This is the only type of E M radiations which can be seen by human eyes. This is the reason that it is known as visible light. The region of EM spectrum in which these waves lies is known as Visible Spectrum. Visible Spectrum Wavelength ranges from 390 to 700 nano meters while in case of frequency it ranges from 430 to 790 tera hertz. Human eye is most sensitive to the wavelength of 555 nm which is green visible light. This does not contain some colors that human eye can detect or see. For example pink, magenta etc colors are not present in the visible spectrum but they can be obtained by mixing the colored light of visible spectrum.
I like to share this Electromagnetic Spectrum Chart with you all through my article.
Energy of the visible photons which is carried by them is in the range of 3.1 eV to 1.8 eV. Frequency range of visible spectra is 750 to 428 THz.
Visible Color Spectrum consists of seven colors named as VIBGYOR which is abbreviation for (V) violet, (I) indigo, (B) blue, (G) green, (Y) yellow, (O) orange, (R) red.
Violet Light- its wavelength is 400 nm in the visible spectra. Violet and blue spectrum are scattered more than other wavelengths of the visible spectra. As human eyes are more sensitive to the blue visible light, the sky appears blue and not violet.
Indigo Light- it has a wavelength of approximately 445 nm.
Blue Light – It corresponds to a wavelength of 475 nm. As blue light has shorter wavelength in the spectrum, it is scattered more by the particles present atmosphere.
Green Light – It has a wavelength of about 510 nm. Our eyes are most sensitive to visible green light.
Yellow Light - visible yellow light corresponds to 570 nm of wavelength.
Orange Light - The visible orange light has 590 nm of wavelength.
Red Light - The visible red light has a longest wavelength of approximately 650 nm in the visible spectra. During the sunset and sunrise, red or orange colors are seen due to the fact that the wavelengths associated with these colors are less scattered by the atmosphere than the shorter wavelength colors.
Having problem with Infrared Wavelength Read my upcoming post, i will try to help you.
Any object that appears or seen by us is due to the visible light. In the absence of visible light we cannot see any object. The light reflected by the object when perceived by our eyes makes us to view that object.
