Step-by-step explanation:

Visible light is the range of electromagnetic waves that humans can see. Anything that glows or gives off light makes waves of what we call visible light. The sun, light bulbs, candles and fire are all things that people automatically think of when it comes to light, but visible light comes from many sources and in many colors. Some other sources of visible light include: television and computer screens, glow sticks, and fireworks
