Key Concepts

Color Perception

Color perception is the process by which the human eye and brain interpret electromagnetic radiation in the visible spectrum as distinct colors. This involves the interaction of light wavelengths with photoreceptor cells in the eye, which then send signals to the brain to form the experience of color.

Visible Spectrum

The visible spectrum is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is detectable by the human eye. It encompasses a continuum of wavelengths that are perceived as different colors, typically ranging from about 380 to 750 nanometers.

Electromagnetic Spectrum

The electromagnetic spectrum is the entire range of all types of electromagnetic radiation, ranging from radio waves at one end to gamma rays at the other, with visible light representing only a small part of this spectrum. It provides the broader context in which the visible spectrum is situated.
