Why is it true to say that all EM radiation is light even though we can see only a small slice of the spectrum as visible light?

Visible light is a very small part of the EM spectrum and it is intellectual laziness to refer to all EM radiation as light.

What is the form of radiation as natural visible light?
Visible light is a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Why astronomers study radiation beyond the violet end of visible light and beyond the red end of visible light?
Astronomers study as much of the spectrum of radiation as they can, and the visible spectrum is only a small segment of it.
What are the family of the electromagnetic spectrum in list?
Radiowaves Microwaves Infrared Visible Spectrum (light) Ultraviolet X-ray radiation Gamma Radiation
Is ultraviolet radiation a higher or lower energy radiation than visible light?
Ultraviolet radiation is of higher energy than visible light. Ultra-violet suggests that it is above violet in the spectrum, and the colour violet is the uppermost region of visible light.
Can photons of light be seen with the naked eye?
Since photons are the basic unit of electromagnetic radiation, and since visible light is electromagnetic radiation, yes, photons within the visible light spectrum can be seen with the naked eye.

What does it mean when something gives out of light?
Assuming that you mean light in the visible spectrum, it would mean that the thing is giving of radiation that is in the visible light spectrum
What is the range of light called?
The visible spectrum is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to (can be detected by) the human eye. Electromagnetic radiation in this range of wavelengths is called visible light or simply light.
What kinds of visible radiation are included in the electromagnetic spectrum?
Visible radiation (light): 380-760 nm (or 790-400THz)
What do the wavelengths of light that our eyes can see make up?
The visible spectrum of the electromagnetic spectrum of radiation
How is seeing related to wavelength?
The human eye can only detect electromagnetic radiation in the visible spectrum, Typically, wavelengths of 390 to 750 nm fall within the visible spectrum. Radiation with these wavelengths are called visible light or simply light.
What are the family of the electromagnetic spectrum in list?
Radiowaves Microwaves Infrared Visible Spectrum (light) Ultraviolet X-ray radiation Gamma Radiation
What part of the solar electromagnetic spectrum has the maximum intensity?
Visible light radiation
What means to gives out light?
Giving out Light means emitting radiation in the visible spectrum i think.........
Is ultraviolet radiation visible or invisible?
By definition, ultra-violet light is outside the visible spectrum of EM radiation. Thus it is defined as invisible.
Does electromagnetic radiation only inclue visible light?
electromagnetic radiation includes all types of the electromagnetic spectrum
