The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.[1] The "electromagnetic spectrum" of an object is the characteristic distribution of electromagnetic radiation emitted or absorbed by that particular object.

The electromagnetic spectrum extends from low frequencies used for modern radio to gamma radiation at the short-wavelength end, covering wavelengths from thousands of kilometers down to a fraction of the size of an atom. The long wavelength limit is the size of the universe itself, while it is thought that the short wavelength limit is in the vicinity of the Planck length, although in principle the spectrum is infinite and continuous.

Who was the first person who proved visible light is only part of the elctromagnetic spectrum?

While I wasn't able to find a specific name associated with the unification of the electromagnetic spectrum, I would suspect that it was James Clerk Maxwell, the man who discovered the link between electricity and magnetism, thus coining the term "electro-magnetic". The spectrum itself is just a list of the ranges of energy that a photon can be at. By studying visible light we can develop the equations that eventually lead to everything from radio waves to gamma waves.
