Some individuals may be able to see more or less of this spectrum, but this is the standard range. The spectrum goes well beyond these visible levels on each side, but the most commonly referred types are ultraviolet and infrared. More on the latter soon. The earth's life force, the sun, produces a much wider spectrum of light. Roughly 50 percent of its output is made up of ...
