Wavelength Spectrum of Wavelength Spectrum of Colors Colors Our eyes are sensitive to light

which lies in a very small region of the electromagnetic

spectrum labeled "visible light". This "visible light" corresponds to a wavelength range of 400 -

700 nanometers (nm) and a color range of violet through

red. The human eye is not capable of "seeing" radiation with wavelengths outside the visible spectrum. The visible

colors from shortest to longest wavelength are: violet, Indigo,

blue, green, yellow, orange, and red. Ultraviolet radiation has a

shorter wavelength than the visible violet light. Infrared

radiation has a longer wavelength than visible red light. The white light is a

mixture of the colors of the visible spectrum. Black is a

total absence of light.
