No. Visible light is actually a very small part of the electromagnetic spectrum which ranges from very short wavelength high frequency electromagnetic waves such as gamma radiation up to very long wavelength, low frequency electromagnetic waves such as radio waves.

For more information on the electromagnetic spectrum and the small part of it made up of visible light, see the related link.
