The scientific definition of light is--a wavelength of electromagnetic radiation between 3,800 and 7,600 angstrom units to which the retina of the eye is sensitive and a part of the electromagnetic spectrum the brain interprets. That physical response of our eyes reacting to light, long before it could be defined as retina and wavelength, has engendered a light-defined vocabulary over centuries. For example, when we talk about the physical properties of light, we talk of, "the light at the end of the tunnel," "by the light of the moon."
Light is an electromagnetic wave.
Except if you are asking of what light is made up of, even as simple as it seems, scientists to this day are still puzzled about what light is made up of. It makes scientists look stupid huh?
Light-waves form only a tiny portion of the electro-magnetic spectrum. visible light is the part of the spectrum that we can see with the naked eye. This excludes ultra-violet and infra-red light.

Does visible light have high or low energy?
Visible light has moderate energy compared to other forms of electromagnetic radiation. It falls within the range of wavelengths that are visible to the human eye, with shorter wavelengths of visible light corresponding to higher energy levels.
What do the visible colars of light represent?
The frequency range of visible light.
Are X-rays visible light?
No, x-rays are not visible light.
What has more energy a visible light or infrared light?
Visible light has more energy than infrared light. This is because visible light has shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies compared to infrared light.
The portion of the electromagnetic spectrum visible to the human eye is known as?
The (not surprising) name is "visible light."
What is a textbook considered to visible light?
A textbook is considered opaque to visible light, meaning that it does not allow light to pass through it easily. The pages of the book absorb or reflect the light that hits them, making the text and images on the pages visible to the reader.
What is the literal meaning of the word lightning?
The literal meaning of the word "lightning" refers to the visible flash of light produced by electrical discharge during a thunderstorm.
What is the transparency of sulfur?
Sulfur is opaque to visible light, meaning it does not allow light to pass through it.
Does visible light have high or low energy?
Visible light has moderate energy compared to other forms of electromagnetic radiation. It falls within the range of wavelengths that are visible to the human eye, with shorter wavelengths of visible light corresponding to higher energy levels.
Optical telescopes are designed to collect and create images from is it white or visible light or x rays or infrared radiation or gamma rays?
An "optical" telescope would naturally collect light from optical wavelengths, meaning visible light from ~400-800nm.
What colors produce magenta light?
Magenta light is produced by mixing red and blue light. It is a non-spectral color, meaning it is not found in the visible spectrum of light as a single wavelength.
What is the meaning photo chemistry?
Photochemistry is a branch of chemistry which study chemical reactions under irradiation with visible light.
What kind of light is normal light that you use?
The answer is visible light. Visible light is light that can be seen with a naked eye
Is ultraviolet light visible?
No, ultraviolet light is not visible to the human eye. It has a shorter wavelength than visible light, which makes it invisible.
What do the visible colars of light represent?
The frequency range of visible light.
Is visible light electromagnetic?
Yes. visible light is in the electromagnetic spectrum.
What are Visible light waves?
exactly what you said its called visible light.
