    The best way to look at it is the other way around.

    Electromagnetic waves exist over a huge range of frequencies, from less

    than 1 per second up to more than 3 billion billion billion per second.

    If electromagnetic waves with frequencies between maybe about

    4 million billion per second up to about 7.5 million billion per second

    go into your eye, you SEE them.

    Outside of that range, your eye doesn't know that there's anything there. But

    IN that range, your eye has incredible nerve ends in the back that can tell the

    difference between different frequencies. The highest frequencies in that range

    produce the feeling of blue in your brain. The next highest ones make a feeling

    of green. The next highest ones make the impression of yellow, and so on and

    so on, down to the lowest frequencies that your eye can detect, and those look

    red. If the frequency is any lower than red, you don't see it even when it pours

    into your eyes.
