I think you have it backwards - light is a term used for specific bands of the EM spectrum. Nobody is calling their FM radio waves light emissions. Unless this is a naming collison with the already established x-rays.
- CamperBob2 1y agoIt's an established term in physics. E.g., https://lightsources.org/ https://lightsources.org/

- ThePowerOfFuet 1y agoNot all light is visible.
- mikkupikku 1y agoRight, hence "visible light". So I don't see the problem with saying x-ray light either.
