The electromagnetic spectrum describes all of the kinds of light, including those the human eye cannot see. In fact, most of the light in the universe is invisible to our eyes.
The light we can see, made up of the individual colors of the rainbow, represents only a very small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Other types of light include radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, ultraviolet rays, X-rays and gamma rays — all of which are imperceptible to human eyes.
All light, or electromagnetic radiation, travels through space at 186,000 miles (300,000 kilometers) per second — the speed of light. That’s about as far as a car will go over its lifetime, traveled by light in a single second!
