Who was the first person who proved visible light is only part of the elctromagnetic spectrum?

While I wasn't able to find a specific name associated with the unification of the electromagnetic spectrum, I would suspect that it was James Clerk Maxwell, the man who discovered the link between electricity and magnetism, thus coining the term "electro-magnetic".
The spectrum itself is just a list of the ranges of energy that a photon can be at. By studying visible light we can develop the equations that eventually lead to everything from radio waves to gamma waves.

Einstein proved the existence of them but it was Newton who made the theory that everything is made of atoms.
How was the cosmoligical constant proved wrong by Hubble?
Albert Einstein's cosmological constant was proved wrong by Hubble as he proved the universe is expanding so it doesn't need a constant to stop it imploding.
Why do optical signals used in fiber optic cables have a very short wavelength?
The pulses of light used in optical fiber are in the infrared or visible spectrum, which is shorter wavelength than the microwave radio spectrum. Neither microwave radio wavelengths nor ultraviolet spectrum wavelengths can pass through the materials used for fiber optic cables.In the early 1950s A. T. & T. had begun laying a system of a few thousand miles of underground microwave waveguides (similar in purpose to modern underground fiber optics systems) but the system was never finished and ultimately proved to be not cost effective. But the cost per foot of fiber optic cables is nearly negligible compared to the cost of metallic waveguides, the diameter of fiber optic cables is much smaller compared to the diameter of waveguides allowing many more cables in the same space as one waveguide, and the shorter wavelength allows wider bandwidth signals on each of these fibers than the waveguide could carry.Perhaps someday fibers might be able to be made of material that can allow ultraviolet spectrum wavelengths to pass and even wider bandwidth signals could be sent, but not now.
How was the cell theory proved?

infrared radiation
Who was the first person to find out about the spectrum of light?
Issac Newton ( The prince of Classical physics) was the first one to show that light is made of 7 colors. He used a Prism to demonstarte dispersion. Then he used a wheel colored in these seven colors and rotated it. By that he did the REVERSE of Dispersion and got White light out of it. In this way Newton proved that visible light actually is made of 7 waves. Now we may wonder "Who is the first person who discovered dispersion?" That question has no answer because people knew dispersion thousand years back and credit does not go to any specific person!!

Because he was a good person who proved a point to the stuppid people in life! To me I think he just proved his point to caucasions and made enough sense... hes a good person.
