All of the frequencies of the visible spectrum, or about 430-790 THz. Red light has a wavelength of about 700 nanometers and violet light has a shorter wavelength about 400 nanoes and so we can see those colours and anything in between like green and yellow. When the wavelength is a bit too short to be seen we call it ultra-violet, and wavelengths a bit too long we call infra-red.

This answer talks about wavelengths while the question asks about frequencies. Sorry, but its easier for me to talk about wavelengths. To answer the question fully, wavelengths can be turned into frequencies by dividing the speed of light (30,000,000 metres per second) by the wavlength. That makes a wavelength of 400 nanoes into a frequency of 30,000,000 / 0.0000004 = 75,000,000,000,000 cycles per second (Hertz). 700 nano red light has a frequency of about 43,000,000,000,0000 Hertz.

Where is visible light along the EM spectrum?

Right between infrared and ultraviolet. It has higher frequencies than infrared; lower frequencies than ultraviolet.


Where on the electromagnetic spectrum is visible light found?

In terms of frequencies, visible light is situated above radio and heat, below x-rays and gamma rays, immediately between ultraviolet and infrared radiation.


Can you see all parts of the electromagnetic spectrum?

No. Radio, microwave, heat, infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays, or gamma rays are not part of the visible spectrum. Visible light has frequencies between 400 - 800 nm


What electromagnetic wave is located between infrared radiation and ultraviolet radiation in the visible spectrum?

The term "electromagnetic" is the wrong term. The correct term is "photoelectric". Aslo the phrase between the infrared and ultraviolet should be stated: between the thresholds of infrared and ultra-violet light. So the correct question would be: What is the region of the photoelectric spectrum that lies between the thresholds of infrared and ultra-violet light? Answer: The visible light spectrum


Where is the visble light found in the electromagnetic spectrum?

Wavelenghts of visible light: 390-780 nm (after CIE).


What portion of the engergy spectrum is visible light?

Visible light is in the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum between infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) light.


What is the difference between infrared and infrasonic?

Infrared is a type of electromagnetic wave (invisible light), while infrasonic is a type of sound which have frequencies less than the audible range (20 Hz -20kHz).


What has greater energy between ultraviolet and infrared?

ultraviolet has more energy.


The frequency of visible light falls between that of?

Ultraviolet and the infrared.


Where on the electromagnetic spectrum is visible light?

Higher frequency than infrared, but lower than ultraviolet, in otherwords in the middle


Which property spells the difference between infrared and ultraviolet radiation?

Ultraviolet radiation means:ultraviolet: radiation lying in the ultraviolet range; wave lengths shorter than light but longer than X rays. Infrared radiation means: electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longer than visible light but shorter than radio waves.


How do electromagnetic light and visible light differ?

I've never actually heard the term "electromagnetic light" before.Visible light IS electromagnetic radiation. The only difference between light andother kinds of electromagnetic radiation ... like radio, microwave, heat, infrared,ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays ... is its wavelength (and frequency).
