Why is electromagnetic radiation between roughly 400 nm and 700 nm visible to humans, while other wavelengths are not?
Tap an answer. The explanation will appear here, including why each wrong option is wrong.
Not quite. B is correct.
Radiation in the 400-700 nm range is visible because the photopigments within human retinal photoreceptors are tuned to absorb and react to these specific wavelengths.

A white canvas contains a pattern of tiny, isolated colored dots. When viewed from a long distance, which color of dots is most likely to appear black or fade from color perception?
Tap an answer. The explanation will appear here, including why each wrong option is wrong.
Not quite. C is correct.
Blue (short-wavelength) cones make up only a small fraction of retinal cones and are essentially absent from the central fovea, so small, distant blue stimuli lose hue and appear dark or black.
