The visible light spectrum refers to the range of electromagnetic waves that are visible to the human eye, ranging from red (longest wavelength) to violet (shortest wavelength).
Ultraviolet wavelengths are shorter than violet light and are invisible to the human eye. They can cause sunburns and damage DNA.
Infrared wavelengths are longer than red light and are also invisible to the human eye. They are commonly used in heat lamps and remote controls.
Electromagnetic waves include all types of waves, such as radio waves, microwaves, X-rays, and gamma rays. They all travel at the speed of light.
