Write short note on visible light.

Answer»

1. It is the most familiar form of EM waves.

2. These waves are detected by human eye. Therefore this wavelength range is called the visible light. 

3. The visible light is emitted due to atomic excitations. 

4. Visible light emitted or reflected from objects around us provides us information about those objects and hence about the surroundings. 

5. Different wavelengths give rise to different colours as shown in the table given below.

ColourWavelength
Violet380-450 nm
Blue450-495 nm
Green495-570 nm
Yellow570-590 nm
Orange590-620 nm
