Helium Lasers emit a very narrow spectrum (620nm???). In a graph of the visible light spectrum the Helium laser registers as a single line or wavelength. Flourescent Bulbs produce light by exciting phosphors. There are many phosphors with a varying spectral charateristics.

Additionally, there are light frequencies that occur on the electromagnetic spectrum that are either too high or too low for humans to see such as ultraviolet, located just past the violet portion of the visible light spectrum or infrared, located just past the red portion of the visible light spectrum.

This range is only a small part of the entire EM spectrum, so you can tell that the light we see is just a little fraction of all the EM radiation around us! By the time you get to the ultraviolet, X-ray, and gamma-ray regions of the EM spectrum, lengths have become too tiny to think about any more.

What is light? Light and lighting are explained in this section. ... But the full range of wavelengths included in the definition of electromagnetic radiation extends from one billionth of a meter, as in gamma rays, to centimeters and meters, as in radio waves. Light is one small part of the spectrum.

When white light shines through a prism, the white light is broken apart into the colors of the visible light spectrum. Water vapor in the atmosphere can also break apart wavelengths creating a rainbow.
