Cod liver oil - a potentially toxic source of Vitamin A: Hypervitaminosis A can result from ingestion of too much vitamin A from diet, supplements, or prescription medications.
This visible light region consists of a spectrum of wavelengths that range from approximately 700 nanometers (abbreviated nm) to approximately 400 nm. Expressed in more familiar units, the range of wavelengths extends from 7 x 10 -7 meter to 4 x 10 -7 meter.
When we consider light as an electromagnetic wave, a color's spectral signature may be identified by noting its wavelength. We sense the waves as color, violet being the shortest wavelength and red the longest. Visible light is the range of wavelengths within the electromagnetic spectrum that the eye responds to. Although radiation of longer or shorter wavelengths are present, the human eye is not capable of responding to it. Figure 2.
