What We See vs What We Don't See

What we see What we don't see VISIBLE LIGHT 380-780nm GAMMA RAYS <0.01nm X-RAYS 0.01-10nm ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT 10nm-380nm INFRARED RADIATION 800nm-1mm RADIO WAVES ≥1mm

A crowd of people celebrates on the top platform labeled “VISIBLE LIGHT,” while the lower platforms represent invisible parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, including gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet, infrared, and radio waves. The joke treats unseen radiation as if it were a hidden world beneath ordinary human perception, making the invisible spectrum look like a much larger reality than what people normally notice.
