 What is VISIBLE
LIGHT?

Visible light is a form

ofElectromagneti
c (EM) Radiation
that is visible to the
human eye.

But what is Electromagnetic

Radiation?
Electromagnetic Spectrum
Electromagne
tic
radiation refer
s to the waves
of
electromagne
tic field, which
travels through
space, and
carries
electromagneti
c
radiant energy.
Electromagnetic Spectrum
Electromagneti
c Radiation are
categorized
according to
their
wavelengt

VISIBLE
LIGHT in
only a small
part of the
full
Electromagne
tic Spectrum

VISIBLE
LIGHT has a
wavelength
range from
400 nm to
720
nanometer.
 VISIBLE LIGHT
VISIBLE
LIGHT are
[400 nm to the only
720nm] Electromagneti
c Waves that
we can see.

Humans can
[390 nm to 750nm] see waves
with
wavelength
390nm to
750nm.
VISIBLE LIGHT
Most of the
light we see
are from
sunlight.

Sunlight is a
WHITE
LIGHT
HISTORY OF VISIBLE
LIGHT
In 17th
century,
ISAAC
NEWTON
hypothesize
d that light
(sunlight) is
made up of
different
colors.
 HISTORY OF VISIBLE
WAVELENGTH
LIGHT
FREQUENCY
Newton
790-700 THzoriginally
divided the
spectrum
700-675 THz
into six
675-580 THznamed
colors: red,
580-530 THzorange,
yellow,
530-510 THzgreen, blue,
and violet.
He later
510-480 THz
added
480-405 THz
indigo as
the seventh
 APPLICATION/
BENEFITS/USES
WHITE LIGHT Visible light is
(Combination of all extremely
colors)
important to
humans, we
use it TO
SEE! Without
light, our eyes
would not be
able to see
images of
anything.

SIGHT
 APPLICATION/
BENEFITS/USES
A laser is
just one
wavelength
(one color)
of light that
TECHNOLOGY (Used in ENTERTAINMENT (Used has been
Barcode reading) in DVDs) specially
focused so
that it is

d to a
pinpoint.

 HARMFUL EFFECTS/
DAMAGES
The human
eye can
suffer from
Looking retinal
directly at the injury due
sun to
overexposu
re to visible
light.
Over

blue light

EYE HEALTH PROBLEMS

 HARMFUL EFFECTS/
DAMAGES
Exposure to
too much
light can
cause
temporary
blindness

VISION RELATED ACCIDENTS

HARMFUL EFFECTS/
DAMAGES
Visible light
can cause
chemical
changes to
different
materials,
which
typically
result in
deterioration
of their
quality.
