- The visible spectrum (or sometimes called the optical spectrum) is the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye. Electromagnetic radiation in this range of wavelengths is called visible light or simply light. A typical human eye will react to wavelengths in air from about 380 to 750 nm.simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visible_spectrum
