This national public education campaign is designed to increase awareness among parents of children ages 8 to 12 about the causes and prevention of noise-induced hearing loss.
Our eyes are what allow us to see. Our eyes are designed to detect a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. This part of the spectrum is called the visible light region. The visible light region ranges in wavelengths from about 380 or 400 nm to 700 or 780 nm depending on which source is used. In fact it also depends on the sensitivity of a specific persons eyes.
Our eyes are sensitive to light which lies in a very small region of the electromagnetic spectrum labeled visible light. This visible light corresponds to a wavelength range of 400 - 700 nanometers (nm) and a color range of violet through red. The human eye is not capable of seeing radiation with wavelengths outside the visible spectrum.
