What is visible light?

  1. Electromagnetic radiation that we can see

  2. Light that is not perceptible by the naked eye

  3. Ultraviolet light

  4. Infrared radiation

The correct answer is: Electromagnetic radiation that we can see

Visible light is defined as electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye. It falls within a specific range of wavelengths that are perceived as colors by our eyes. This is the correct answer because visible light is what we can see and experience in our everyday lives. The other options, such as light that is not perceptible by the naked eye, ultraviolet light, and infrared radiation, do not fall within the visible light spectrum that we can see.
