Visible Radiation - the type of electromagnetic radiation that the human eye can detect ...
Visible radiation: Electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths between approximately .4 to .7 microns. Human vision occurs at these wavelengths.
Light Visible radiation (about 0.4 to 0.7 microns in wavelength) considered in terms of its luminous efficiency, that is, evaluated in proportion to its ability to stimulate the sense of sight.
Ultraviolet RadiationElectromagnetic radiation of shorter wavelength than visible radiation but longer than x-rays.UmbraIn solar-terrestrial terms, the dark core or cores (umbrae) in a sunspot with penumbra, or a sunspot lacking penumbra.
This radiation is longer than visible radiation but shorter than microwave radiation.
electromagnetic spectrum"The ordered sequence of all known electromagnetic radiations, extending from the shortest cosmic rays through gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet radiation, visible radiation, infrared radiation, ...
7 to 1000 micrometers (longer than visible radiation, shorter than microwave radiation).
Electromagnetic radiation of shorter wavelength than visible radiation but longer than x-rays.

Radiation which is less energetic than visible radiation and more energetic than microwave radiation ; typically, the radiation emitted by the earth's surface or that emitted in an oven or on a range.

A device that can detect electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths that are greater than the visible radiation. Weather satellites use infrared sensors or radiometers to produce infrared images of the earth-atmosphere system.
light - Often synonymous with visible radiation but sometimes applied to electromagnetic radiation well outside the visible spectrum.
Infrared radiation Electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths between about 0.7 and 1000 µm. This radiation is longer than visible radiation but shorter than microwave radiation.
Today, not only do satellites observe clouds, but measure other non- visible radiation from the earth and atmosphere.
Its lower limit is bounded by visible radiation, and its upper limit by microwave radiation. Most of the energy emitted by the Earth and its atmosphere is at infrared wavelength.
