485-500 nm; blue, 450-485 nm; violet, 380-450 nm.

Wavelengths longer or shorter than this range are called infrared or ultraviolet, respectively. Humans cannot generally see these wavelengths, but other animals may.

Hue detection

Sufficient differences in wavelength cause a difference in the perceived hue; the just-noticeable difference in wavelength varies
