ULTRAVIOLET INFRARED

VISIBLE LIGHT

Visible light emitted by the Sun occupies just one single sector in the 10 25
different wavelengths in the universe. Most interestingly, the rays that
25
support life on Earth fall within that range of one in 10 . That rays emitted
by the Sun are squeezed into such a narrow range, capable of supporting
life on Earth, reveals an intelligent design that cannot be explained in
terms of chance. The ideal types of rays emitted by the Sun were selected
from among trillions of trillions of possible wavelengths.

bandwidth are three different types of light; visible light, in-

frared, and some ultraviolet.
All three types of light combined make up an almost in-
significant section of the total spectrum. In other words, they
25
would be represented by one of the 10 cards.
But why does the Sun’s radiation lie within this narrow
bandwidth?
The answer to that question is extremely important: It’s the
only type of radiation that can support life on Earth.
Addressing this question in Energy and the Atmosphere, British

physicist Ian Campbell says that "the radiation from the sun (and
from many sequence stars) should be concentrated into a minus-
cule band of the electromagnetic spectrum which provides pre-
cisely the radiation required to maintain life on earth is very re-
markable." According to Campbell, this situation is “staggering.” 39
