What electromagnetic waves reach Earth’s surface?

The electromagnetic waves reaching us consist of only a portion of the visible light, near-infrared rays and radio waves from space because the earth is surrounded by a layer of gases known as the atmosphere.

What color is 574 nm?

Colour, wavelength, frequency and energy of light

Orange 620 2.00
Yellow 580 2.14
Green 530 2.34
Blue 470 2.64

What Colour is 350nm?

Electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength of over 750 nm is called infra-red, and radiation under 350 nm is ultra-violet. Each color on the spectrum can vary in saturation, lightness and darkness, and it’s estimated that a human eye can distinguis about 10 million color variations.

What color is 400nm?

violet
The human eye sees color over wavelengths ranging roughly from 400 nanometers (violet) to 700 nanometers (red). Light from 400–700 nanometers (nm) is called visible light, or the visible spectrum because humans can see it.

Can microwaves reach Earth?

Microwaves have a long wavelength, though not as long as radio waves. The Earth’s atmosphere is transparent to some wavelengths of microwave radiation, but not to others. The longer wavelengths (waves more similar to radio waves) pass through the Earth’s atmosphere more easily than the shorter wavelength microwaves.
