  2. Biological effects of high-energy visible light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_effects_of_high...

    Blue light, a type of high-energy light, is part of the visible light spectrum. High-energy visible light (HEV light) is short-wave light in the violet/blue band from 400 to 450 nm in the visible spectrum, which has a number of purported negative biological effects, namely on circadian rhythm and retinal health (blue-light hazard), which can lead to age-related macular degeneration.

    Exposing skin to infrared radiation near visible light (IR-A) leads to increased production of free radicals. [41] Short-term exposure can be beneficial (activating protective responses), while prolonged exposure can lead to photoaging. [42] Another important factor is the distance between the worker and the source of radiation.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_light_spectrum

    To reduce the hazards of blue light exposure, effective management strategies can be implemented, including limiting screen time before bed and using blue light filter. The blue light spectrum is an essential part of the visible spectrum with wavelengths of about 400-480 nm. [1]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum

    Passing white light through a prism splits it up into the several colours of light observed in the visible spectrum between 400 nm and 780 nm. If radiation having a frequency in the visible region of the EM spectrum reflects off an object, say, a bowl of fruit, and then strikes the eyes, this results in visual perception of the scene. The brain ...

  6. Radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation

    Light, or visible light, is a very narrow range of electromagnetic radiation of a wavelength that is visible to the human eye, or 380–750 nm which equates to a frequency range of 790 to 400 THz respectively. [4] More broadly, physicists use the term "light" to mean electromagnetic radiation of all wavelengths, whether visible or not.

    Light, or visible light, is the very narrow range of electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye (about 400–700 nm), or up to 380–750 nm. [7] More broadly, physicists refer to light as electromagnetic radiation of all wavelengths, whether visible or not.
