Light is a certain spectrum (frequency range) of electromagnetic waves, while some of the electromagnetic waves cannot be seen in the naked eyes, those in the spectrum of light can be seen. electromagnetic waves need no matter to travel in or through (unlike sound waves). you cannot see anything but light.
the source of light however is usually matter so you get to see light from sources of light which looks like the sources or reflectors (matter).
you cannot see light when its not moving towards you unless it reflects with matter and then moves towards you..
