An Insight on the Visible Electromagnetic Spectrum
By Muhammad Mudassir Shah The visible spectrum of light is the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye. In common terms it is the light that can be reflected by the human eye. The entire spectrum of light starts from the ⋎ (Gamma) rays up to the long radio waves, however, the light that is visible to the human eye is between UV and IR. The wavelength of this visible spectrum is between 390 manometer to 700 manometer . The visible spectrum of light contains a range of colors, these colors can be seen in the figure below. Practically this visible spectrum of light can be attained when white light is passed through the prism. The white light passing through the prism is refracted causing this light to bend, as a result the white light is converted to different colors. Each of these color generated have its specific wavelength. According to physics; if an object has a particular color, that specific object absorbs all of the wavelengths (colors) except...
