Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the electromagnetic spectrum is divided into different regions based on wavelength and frequency, including microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, and others.
Recall that the colors of a rainbow correspond to different wavelengths of light that the human eye can detect, which is the range known as visible light.
Recognize that microwaves and infrared have longer wavelengths than visible light and are not visible to the human eye, so they do not show rainbow colors.
Note that ultraviolet light has shorter wavelengths than visible light and is also not visible to the human eye, so it does not display rainbow colors.
Conclude that the region of the electromagnetic spectrum where all the colors of a rainbow can be seen is the visible light region.
