Visible 'light' ranges from roughly 380 to 750 nanometers (billionths of a meter).
It can vary somewhat for different individuals' eyes.
If electromagnetic radiation has a wavelength longer than about 750nm or
shorter than about 380nm, you may still call it 'light' if you want, but the
human eye doesn't respond to it.

What wavelength of ultraviolet light offers the strongest germicidal effciency?
short wavelength
The wavelength of red light from 760nm in meters?
If a wavelength of light emitted from a particular red diode laser is 651 nm, its wavelength would be equivalent to 0.000000651 meters.
What is the relationship between the wavelength and the frequency of radiant energy?
Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional.
The wavelength of light used to observe an object must be ... than the object itself?
The wavelength of light used to observe an object must be shorter than the size of the object itself.
This element refers to the wavelength of reflected light?
Color
Can an object vibrate at the wavelength of light?
No object can vibrate at the wavelength of light. wavelength of light depends on the intensity of light and electron movements.
What is a sentence for wavelength?
The wavelength of blue light is shorter than the wavelength of red light.
What is the wavelength of charcoal?
Charcoal is not a source of light, so it does not have a specific wavelength associated with it. Wavelength is a property of light.
How does the wavelength of light compare to it's frequency?
The wavelength of light is inversely proportional to its frequency. This means that light with a shorter wavelength will have a higher frequency, and light with a longer wavelength will have a lower frequency. In other words, as the wavelength decreases, the frequency increases.
Does light with a higher wavelength diffract more than light with a lower wavelength?
No, generally light with a higher wavelength diffracts less than light with a lower wavelength. This is because diffraction is more prominent for light with shorter wavelengths.
What happenes to the frequency of light when its wavelength increases or decreases?
When the wavelength of light increases, the frequency decreases. Conversely, when the wavelength decreases, the frequency increases. This relationship is described by the equation: frequency = speed of light / wavelength.
What has a longer wavelength red or green?
Red light has the longest wavelength that's visible to the eye.Violet light, just past blue in the rainbow, has the shortest wavelengththat's visible to the eye. It's roughly half the size of a wave of red light.
What affects light with short wavelength more than light with long wavelength?
Scattering of light
Does infrared or ultraviolet have the shorter wavelength?
Ultraviolet light has a shorter wavelength than infrared light.
Which type of visible light has the longest wavelength?
Red light has the longest wavelength of all the visible light colors.
Which color light has a longer wavelength?
Red light has a longer wavelength compared to blue light.
What is the formula for converting frequency of light into wavelength?
wavelength = c/frequency of light where c is the speed of light.
