Step-by-step explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum is the name given to the full range of frequencies and/or wavelengths that electromagnetic phenomena may have.

Human eyes respond to a small range of wavelengths in that spectrum. That response is called sight. Because humans can see that electromagnetic energy, it is called visible light.
