The human ear can on average hear over 7 octaves of frequencies and in extreme cases over 11 octaves. The human eye on the other hand can barely see over 1 octave of frequencies.

well, the light spectrum is considerably larger than the sound spectrum isnt it?

In individual frequencies, yes. However, frequencies change tremendously based on the order of octaves. Therefor the hears at most 38,000 different frequencies -11 octaves- (for humans) while the eyes can see from 430–790 THz, which I guess my paper which I am reading (which is supper old) was off slightly as that is below one octave for the eyes.

ive been reading some things on sound. Its pretty crazy what frequencies are possible. Read something about sound may be limited to the space between air molecules.
