This national public education campaign is designed to increase awareness among parents of children ages 8 to 12 about the causes and prevention of noise-induced hearing loss.
Our eyes are what allow us to see. Our eyes are designed to detect a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. This part of the spectrum is called the visible light region. The visible light region ranges in wavelengths from about 380 or 400 nm to 700 or 780 nm depending on which source is used. In fact it also depends on the sensitivity of a specific persons eyes.
EM Spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum ranges from the shorter wavelengths (including gamma and x-rays) to the longer wavelengths (including microwaves and broadcast radio waves). There are several regions of the electromagnetic spectrum which are useful for remote sensing. Visible Spectrum. The light which our eyes can detect forms the visible spectrum. It is important to note how small a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum is represented by the visible region.
