Best Answer

The total of all electromagnetic waves is called the electromagnetic spectrum.

The electromagnetic spectrum includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light waves, ultraviolet radiation, x-rays, and gamma rays. Only visible light waves, which humans see as the band of colors from red to violet, are the portion of the spectrum visible to the human eye, although many other life forms are sensitive to infrared and possibly to other segments the spectrum.

You could certainly call it that if you like, but most people wouldn't know what

you mean. Many of them would understand you better if you called it the

"electromagnetic spectrum", (while the rest would still be lost).
