Visible light: Telescopes collect photons in the visible light spectrum to observe celestial objects. Infrared radiation: Telescopes sensitive to infrared radiation detect heat emitted by objects in space that are not visible in the visible light spectrum. Radio waves: Radio telescopes capture radio waves emitted by astronomical sources, providing valuable information about the universe.
Cones in our eyes are receivers for these tiny visible light waves. Light is used to see. In the form of lasers, light is used for recording data, or computer based manufacturing, or some types of surgery.
The longest radio wave used for communication is around 3 millimeters long. The shortest visible wavelength of light is around 0.0004 millimeters long.
Sunlight is broken down into three major components: (1) visible light, with wavelengths between 0.4 and 0.8 micrometre, (2) ultraviolet light, with wavelengths shorter than 0.4 micrometre, and (3) infrared radiation, with wavelengths longer than 0.8 micrometre. The visible portion constitutes nearly half of the total radiation received at the surface of the Earth.
A primary light source is one that actually produces light, such as a light bulb or the sun. A secondary light source in one that ONLY reflects the light produced by a primary light source. It doesn't produce light itself, such as a mirror or the moon.

Infrared, Visible, & Ultraviolet light
The longest radio wave used for communication is around 3 millimeters long. The shortest visible wavelength of light is around 0.0004 millimeters long.
It has 7 bands, only 3 of which are in the visible.

The 3 measurable quantities of light are: Luminous intensity-- which refers to the brightness of a light source Luminous flux-- is the rate at which light is emitted from a source and strikes the surface of a whole sphere Illumination-- is the deliberate application of light to achieve some aesthetic or practical effect
radio waves, gamma waves, x-rays, and visible light.

types include (in order of increasing frequency and decreasing wavelength): radio waves, microwaves, terahertz radiation, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and gamma rays
Radio, radio is around 10^3 m and visible light is around .5 *10^-6 m.
