It seems like other electromagnetic waves have some special properties. Microwave can heat the water molecules, infrared is basically “heat waves”. UV have enough energy to damage DNA and harm a living things. X-rays and Gamma radiation can penetrate a lot of material and also damage DNA. But the visible part is just visible, or it have some other properties?
In: Physics
We see the wavelengths of light that are not absorbed by water. Which is a requirement for a camera that’s in water (the eyeball) . It’s nothing special – it’s just that some wavelengths of light do not interact with water very much. Like a tuning fork only picks up certain sounds, water likewise only picks certain frequencies
