You might say that, even though nobody else ever does.
A change in the frequency of sound is perceived as a different 'pitch'.
A change in the frequency of light is perceived as a different 'color'.
In each case, even a small change in frequency is easily perceptible to the
human sensory system. Who cares what word you use to describe it !

Does infred waves have the same wavelength as visible light waves?
No, infrared waves have longer wavelengths than visible light waves. Infrared waves have wavelengths ranging from about 700 nanometers to 1 millimeter, while visible light waves have wavelengths ranging from about 380 to 750 nanometers.
Are infrared rays electromagnet waves that are longer than radio waves but shorter than visible light rays?
Infrared waves are shorter than radio waves and longer than visible light waves.
Waves with shorter wavelengths than those of visible light are called?
Ultraviolet waves have shorter wavelengths than visible light.
Compared to the velocity of radio waves the velocity of visible light waves is?
The velocity of visible light waves is the same as the velocity of radio waves in a vacuum, both traveling at the speed of light (approximately 299,792 kilometers per second).
What type of light bulb converts ultraviolet waves into visible light?
A fluorescent light bulb converts ultraviolet waves into visible light using a phosphor coating inside the bulb. When the UV light hits the phosphor coating, it emits visible light.
What are two different types of light waves?
Two different types of light waves are visible light waves and ultraviolet light waves. Visible light waves are the only part of the electromagnetic spectrum that our eyes can detect, while ultraviolet light waves have shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies than visible light.
Where is visible light found in the electromagnetic spectrum?
Electromagnetism is manifest along a continuum between slower radio waves and faster energy gamma waves. Visible light can be found in the range between infrared light (slower than waves of visible light) and ultraviolet light (faster than waves of visible light).
What are Visible light waves?
exactly what you said its called visible light.
Do visible light waves have higher frequencies than radio waves?
Yes, visible light waves have higher frequencies than radio waves. Visible light waves fall within the range of frequencies on the electromagnetic spectrum that is higher than radio waves.
What is a visible form of energy?
visible light waves
1 What types of waves are light and electromagnetic waves?
The type of waves that are electromagnetic are the visible light waves
Are visible light waves the same as sound waves?
No.
Do radio waves microwaves and ultraviolet waves all have longer wavelength than visible light?
Radio and microwaves are longer than visible light. So are heat (infrared) waves. Ultraviolet waves are shorter than visible light. So are X-rays and gamma rays.
What is the definition of visible light waves?
Visible light waves are a form of electromagnetic radiation that can be seen by the human eye. They have wavelengths in the range of approximately 400 to 700 nanometers, and the different wavelengths correspond to different colors that we perceive in the world around us.
Is light and electromagnetic waves are alike?
Light is the visible form of electromagnetic waves.
Which waves can be separated into different wavelengths of colored light?
Visible light waves can be separated into different wavelengths of colored light. This can be achieved using a prism, diffraction grating, or other optical devices that disperse light based on its wavelength, resulting in the familiar rainbow spectrum.
Are visible light waves mechanical waves?
No. They're electromagnetic waves.
