Answer 1

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.
