Photons from different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum have distinct characteristics. Let's break down which waves correspond to the given options:
1. **Radio Waves**: Photons from radio waves have low energy and long wavelengths, making them suitable for long-distance communication like radio broadcasting.
2. **Microwaves**: Microwaves have shorter wavelengths and higher energy than radio waves. They are commonly used in microwave ovens for cooking food and in communication technologies like satellite communication.
3. **Visible Light**: This is the correct answer. Photons from the visible light spectrum are responsible for what we perceive as colors. These photons have wavelengths that our eyes can detect, allowing us to see the world around us.
4. **Infrared Radiation**: Infrared radiation has wavelengths longer than visible light and is often felt as heat. It is used in various applications such as night vision devices and thermal imaging cameras.
In this case, photons from the waves of the electromagnetic spectrum associated with visible light are the ones responsible for what we see.
