What type of light is a combination of all visible rays of the spectrum?

Infrared light
White light
Ultraviolet light
Colored light

The correct answer is: White light

White light is known as a combination of all visible rays of the spectrum. It encompasses all colors that can be perceived by the human eye, which include red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. When these colors are combined, they produce white light. In practical terms, white light is what you see when sunlight shines, as it contains all the colors of the visible spectrum mixed together. This concept is essential in esthetics, especially when understanding how different light sources affect skin treatments and product performance. The other types of light mentioned—infrared, ultraviolet, and colored light—do not contain the full range of visible wavelengths in the same way. Infrared light consists of wavelengths longer than visible light and is not visible to the human eye, while ultraviolet light consists of wavelengths shorter than visible light and can cause skin damage. Colored light refers to specific visible wavelengths rather than the entire spectrum combined.
