Light is electromagnetic radiation, some visible and some not. The obvious visible spectrum is the one displayed in rainbows, which encompass the kind of light that we can see. One obvious invisible light is infrared radiation, which is basically heat.

The visible spectrum ranges from 380 nm to 750 nm, in wavelength. Below the visible spectrum (less energetic) would be infrared, microwave, FM, AM, and so on. On the other side (more energetic) would be UV, X-ray, gamma-rays, etc.
