| Description: | It is a color in the visible light variety which can be noticed and seen by human eyes. It is the shortest wavelength of light, meaning that it emits lots of energy for utilization. Blue light is a range of the visible light spectrum, defined as having a wavelength between 400-495 nm. This short wavelength means that blue light is a type of HEV (high-energy visible light), defined as having a wavelength between 400 and 450 nm. Because the blue/violet band of the visible spectrum has a particularly high frequency. What is the damage of the blue light? Not all instance of exposure to blue light is harmful or have detrimental effects on the health of an individual.
