WHAT IS VISIBLE
LIGHT?
Visible light waves are the only
wavelengths of the electromagnetic
spectrum that humans can see. The
different wavelengths of visible light
are seen as the colors of the rainbow:
red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo,

 COLOR AND SPECTRUM PREOPER

Perhaps the most

important characteristic of
visible light is color. Color
is both an inherent
property of light and an
artifact of the cells in the
human eye.
CTRUM WAVELENGTHS FR
As the full spectrum of visible
light travels through a prism,
the wavelengths separate into
the colors of the rainbow
because each color is a
different wavelength.
THS FREQUENCY

frequency range of around

400 THz to 800 THz. This
part of the electromagnetic
spectrum can be “seen”
and distinguished optically
by the human eye
E ENERGY

The photon energy of

visible light ranges from 2
to 2.75 electron volts (eV)
[5, 6, 7]; the energy of a
photon is inversely
proportional to the
wavelength of the

The application of visible
light: The 3 uses visible light
LIGHT
are fiber optic
communications, photography,
and electronic devices.
Fiber optic communication- is a method of transmitting data
using light, rather than electricity like standard wires and
cabling. Fiber optic cables are used in different areas with the
largest being for telephones, the Internet, and television

Photography-Visible cameras utilize wavelengths of light from

400~700nm, which is the same spectrum that the human eye
perceives.
electronics device
 HARMFUL EFFECTS:
The visible light radiation can exert various biologic effects such
as erythema, pigmentation, thermal damage and free radical
production. Addtionally, visible light exposure can cause or
exacerbate photodermatoses such as solar urticaria, chronic
actinic dermatosis (CAD) and cutaneous porphyrias

WHAT ARE THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE EFFECTS:

Positive effects: positive effects include that we are able to see the
light which comes in a variety of colors which allows objects to
appear differently allowing us to differentiate objects.
Negative effects: these include that different colors can cause
different emotional responses.
