Light, radiation, and waves are interconnected concepts within the electromagnetic spectrum, where light refers specifically to the visible portion of electromagnetic waves, radiation encompasses all forms of energy that travel through space, and waves describe the oscillatory behavior of these energy forms as they propagate. This spectrum includes various types of radiation, such as radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays, all differing in wavelength and frequency. In essence, light is a type of radiation, and both are forms of waves that transmit energy.
