Light
Hi. I saw your change to Polarization and am about to reverse it. See the article Light, and the discussion on its talk page. There has been some debate about this before. In common usage, "light" refers to the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. While it is common enough in physics to use "light" to refer to all electromagnetic radiation even that usage is by no means universal and many physicists do distinguish between "light" and "electromagnetic radiation". In this case, since there are separate articles on the two and the former explicitly defines light as visible electromagnetic radiation, it makes sense to treat the term as having the narrower definition. --Srleffler 21:18, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
