Question

Does visible light make up a relatively large part or a relatively small part of the electromagnetic spectrum?

Answer 1

Answer:

Relatively small part of the electromagnetic spectrum

Explanation:

Let us take a look at the electromagnetic spectrum

Radio waves

Wavelength = $10^3\ m$

Microwaves

Wavelength = $10^{-2}\ m$

Infrared waves

Wavelength = $10^{-5}\ m$

Visible waves

Wavelength = $0.5\times 10^{-6}\ m$

Radio waves

Wavelength = $10^3\ m$

Ultraviolet waves

Wavelength = $10^{-8}\ m$

X ray waves

Wavelength = $10^{-10}\ m$

Gamma ray waves

Wavelength = $10^{-12}\ m$

So, it can be seen that the visible light makes up a relatively small part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
