(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The optical spectrum (visible light or visible spectrum) is that portion of the electromagnetic spectrum which is visible to the human eye. The optical spectrum is a composite, or mixture, of the various colors.
There are no exact bounds to the optical spectrum ; a light-adapted eye typically has a maximum sensitivity of ~555 nm (in the green). Commonly the response of the eye is considered to cover 380 nm to 780 nm although a range of 400 nm to 700 nm range is more common. The eye may, however, have some visual response at even wider wavelength ranges.
Wavelengths in the range visible to the eye occupy most of the "optical window", a range of wavelengths that are easily transmitted through the Earth's atmosphere.
Note: Ultraviolet and Infrared are often considered to be "light" but are generally not visible to the human eye.
The Optical Spectrum and Isaac Newton
It was Sir Isaac Newton in 1666 who first used the word spectrum to refer to the celebrated Phenomenon of Colours which can be extracted from sunlight, by a glass prism.
Visible Light
Visible light is electromagnetic radiation that is made of colors of light that the eye can see. This light has wavelengths that are generally expressed in nanometers.
See frequency, wavelength, Rydberg formula.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The word vision can mean more than one thing:
- Vision is one of the senses. See also eye, visual perception
- vision (religion)
- "Vision" can mean an imagined picturing originating with not-so-divine sources: politicians, business planners and change gurus play on this sense of the word.
- A company vision may express a corporate long-term goal - not to be confused with a mission statement (extending the religious metaphor).
