Answer:

The human eye can only see white visible light and it contains all the colors of the rainbow, from red to violet.

Step-by-step explanation:

But visable light comes in many "colors" such as radio, infrared, ultraviolet, X-ray, and gamma-ray that are invisible to the naked eye.The reason that the human eye can see the spectrum is because those specific wavelengths stimulate the retina in the human eye.
