Petra Scotty quick check which are examples of non-visible light white light from the sun in microwaves radio waves and all for violent light rainbows and x-rays white light from a light bulb and rainbows

To clarify, white light, such as that from the sun or a light bulb, contains a mixture of different wavelengths, including visible light. Non-visible light consists of wavelengths that fall outside the visible spectrum. Here's how the terms you've mentioned fit into this context:

  1. Non-visible light:

    • Microwaves: Yes, these are non-visible light.
    • Radio waves: Yes, these are also non-visible light.
    • Ultraviolet (UV) light: This is non-visible light that is just beyond the visible spectrum on the violet side.
    • X-rays: Yes, these are non-visible light as well.
  2. Visible light:

    • White light from the sun: Yes, this includes visible light.
    • White light from a light bulb: Yes, this also includes visible light.
    • Rainbows: Yes, rainbows are caused by the dispersion of visible light and are a display of the visible spectrum.

In summary:

  • Examples of non-visible light: Microwaves, radio waves, ultraviolet light, X-rays.
  • Examples of visible light: White light from the sun, white light from a light bulb, rainbows.
