(N/A) Nature has endowed the human eye (retina) with the sensitivity to detect electromagnetic waves within a small range of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Electromagnetic radiation belonging to this region of the spectrum (wavelength of about $400 \ nm$ to $750 \ nm$) is called light.
It is mainly through light and the sense of vision that we know and interpret the world around us.
