Ultraviolet light and x-rays have wavelengths shorter than violet light, and infrared (heat) and radio waves have wavelengths longer than red light. The full range of wavelengths for light is called the "electromagnetic spectrum."

Comparing Newton's observation of prismatic colors with a color image of the visible light spectrum shows that "indigo" corresponds to what is today called blue, whereas his "blue" corresponds to cyan.
A spectral colour is produced by a single wavelength of light. The complete range of colours that can be perceived by a human observer is called the visible spectrum. The range of wavelengths that produce visible light is a very small part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Blue: 450 – 500 nm. Blue light has a wavelength between 450 and 500 nm. You might be surprised that a pure blue color is less common in nature than it would appear. For example, the sky’s blue color is due to Rayleigh scattering rather than pure blue light. Do you, or someone you know, have blue eyes?
6.1.1 Describe the region of the electromagnetic spectrum that is perceived by our visual system, and the relative energy of photons at long and short wavelengths. 6.1.2 Describe the major parts of the eye and their role in focusing light to create a clear image. In this section, we will meet the range of the electromagnetic energy spectrum ...
16 sty 2021 · The visible light spectrum is the region of the electromagnetic spectrum that human eyes see. It runs from wavelength of about 400 nanometers (nm) at the violet end of the spectrum to around 700 nm at the red end of the spectrum.
When light waves reflect, transmit, absorb, or scatter selectively based on their frequency, objects take on different colors. This can explain many topics, from how color monitors and phone screens work to why the Earth’s sky looks blue during the day and red at sunrise and sunset.
