The human eye can only see an extremely small section of the electromagnetic spectrum. The very small part that we do see is called “visible light.” This light is refracted and corresponds with different wavelengths in the “visible light”. In our eyes, we have cells called cones that are sensitive to different wavelengths. The cones and wavelengths allow us to see color. There are three different types of cones in our eyes. Some of the cones in o
