The eye detects visible light, the nerves detect infrared or heat and the skin is sensitive to ultraviolet ( tanning and sunburn ) and the lens of the eye develops cataracts in response to UV also. a human body can detect ionizing electromagnetic radiation, if he can see what his geiger counter is reading.
The human eye is only sensitive to EM radiation at wavelengths that range roughly between 780 nanometers and 380 nanometers. This small segment is called the visible spectrum or visible light. This is usually what we mean when we speak of light (though, properly speaking, all EM radiation is light). Infrared lies just below red light; ultraviolet exists just above violet light. Both are invisible to humans and other creatures (though some reptiles can see infrared and some insects can see ultraviolet).
