Cilia are slender, microscopic, hair-like structures or organelles that extend from the surface of nearly all mammalian cells (multiple or single).ource: Amelia Shoemark.

Share. The visible light spectrum is the section of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum that is visible to the human eye. It ranges in wavelength from approximately 400 nm (4 x 10 -7 m) to 700 nm (7 x 10 -7 m). It is also known as the optical spectrum of light. By Andrew Zimmerman Jones.
Visible light waves are radiation that you can see with your naked eye. The different frequencies of visible light are experienced by people as the colors of the rainbow. The frequencies move from the lower wavelengths, detected as reds, up to the higher visible wavelengths, detected as violet hues.
