All visible light (light that our eyes can detect) has wavelength between 400-700 nanometers. Wavelengths just smaller than 400 nm are Ultraviolet light. Wavelengths just larger than 700 nanometers are infrared light. What type of light is the Balmer series light that we have consider so far?

Progressing from short wavelengths to long wavelengths, scientists have identified gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet light, visible light (between 400 and 700 nanometers), infrared (heat), microwaves, and radio waves. Short wavelengths have more energy per photon than long wavelengths.
