Which is one difference between visible and non-visible light
Only visible light is on the electromagnetic spectrum.
I think
scratch that, its actually
Visible light can be seen by the unaided human eye.
One key difference between visible and non-visible light is the range of wavelengths they encompass. Visible light is a narrow range of electromagnetic waves that can be detected by the human eye, typically ranging from approximately 400 to 700 nanometers. It consists of the familiar colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
On the other hand, non-visible light refers to electromagnetic waves with wavelengths outside the range of human vision. This includes shorter wavelengths such as ultraviolet (UV), X-rays, and gamma rays, as well as longer wavelengths such as infrared (IR), microwaves, and radio waves. These forms of non-visible light are used extensively in various scientific, medical, and technological applications.
To differentiate between visible and non-visible light, you can simply determine whether the light falls within the wavelength range that the human eye can perceive (visible light) or falls outside that range (non-visible light).
