Yes, visible light (the color spectrum) is a tiny range of the full range of electromagnetic waves. In the related Wikipedia link, there is a picture that shows the colors 'crammed in' to a small range of the spectrum.

Which color of the visible light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum has the lowest frequency and the lowest energy?
Red light.
Light 489 nm Where is this on the electromagnetic spectrum If it is visible light what color Another laser a diode laser emits light 987 nm Where is this on the electromagnetic spectrum?
Light at 489 nanometers is in the blue area of the spectrum. Use the link below for more information.
What is color spectrum and how is it obtained?
The color spectrum is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The color spectrum, often referred to as 'visible light' is only part of it. It is called visible light because it is the only spectrum that we can see with our eyes (we can't see x-rays, radiowaves, etc). The colors within it come in the order of ROYGBIV : Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet.
Which color of light in the visible spectrum has the highest energy?
Photons with higher energy correspond to electromagnetic radiation with higher frequency/shorter wavelength. In the visible band, the color with the highest frequency is the last one you can see on the VIOLET end of the spectrum.
What determines color order of visible light in the electromagnetic spectrum?
The colours are determined by the wavelengths of the light. How they are perceived depends on the brain interpreting the signals from the retina.
Which color on the electromagnetic spectrum has the shortest wavelength?
yellow
How does the color of the light bulbs determine the amount of energy of the electromagnetic waves?
The "color" is really a wavelength. The electromagnetic spectrum determines this, every different wavelength has a corresponding color. Red being the longest, and violet being the shortest. This electromagnetic spectrum also determines whether it is visible, ultraviolet, infrared, and so on.
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum is color?
The so called visible spectrum. (from red [low frequency] to violet [high frequency].
How can the electromagnetic spectrum be used to explain the human eye's detection of color?
ultraviolet light
What color on the color spectrum is closest to an x-ray?
Ok, the electromagnetic spectrum is RadioWaves-Microwaves-Infrared-(red orange yellow green blue violet)-UltraViolet-XRay-Gamma These are part of the visible color spectrum So violet would be the answer.
What color travels the slowest?
The entire electromagnetic spectrum travels at the same speed. The speed of light.
Is white light a single color- Does it have a place in the electromagnetic spectrum like red and blue do?
white light is not a single color..it is made up of 7 different colors which include red and blue and yes it is there in the electromagnetic spectrum between ultraviolet and infrared radiation
Can humans detect visible light?
Answer is simply yes , human eyes is only sensitive to the visible light at the electromagnetic spectrum , however there is a different in wavelength and the frequency depending on the color of the visible light
What is an ultraviolet ray?
You cannot see ultraviolet rays, you can only see electromagnetic waves that are within the visible light spectrum; therefore it does not have a color. It is simply referred to as ultraviolet because its respective band on the EM spectrum lies above our visible violet frequencies.
What is the relationship of the colors you saw and the lines of the electromagnetic spectrum produced by metals?
Each chemical element has a different spectrum; and each color has a specific wavelength.
What does blue and green light make?
Blue and Green make the color Red in the Electromagnetic (EM) Spectrum.
What color of the visible light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum has the highest frequency and the most energy?
Red, I believe.
