what do we mean exactly by visible light?
Since light is oscillating electric and magnetic fields, and both electric and magnetic fields are invisible, what do we actually see? is color the wave itself?when we see colors do we see the waves themselves and if their wavelength were bigger would we be able to see crests and troughs or is color a construction of our brain? when we see interference fringes do we see the waves themselves?
